Heritage Trail (Iowa) Explained

42.553°N -90.709°W

Heritage Trail is a 26miles long, multiuse rail trail connecting Dubuque and Dyersville, Iowa.[1] [2]

It is maintained by the Dubuque County Conservation Board, and was converted from a segment of the former Chicago Great Western railroad line between Chicago and Oelwein, Iowa. It is mostly surfaced with compacted, crushed limestone. The county and the city of Dyersville recently sought to have the two mile segment adjacent to Dyersville paved.[3]
