The Iowa City area has so many great places to Get Active. From the miles and miles of trails to the yoga studios and the community centers, there are so many choices.
The Iowa River Corridor trail is 6 miles long and is the longest and most heavily used trail in Iowa City. It connects several parks, the Univesity, the Iowa River, Downtown Iowa City, and ends in Coralville.

The Waterworks Prairie Park in Iowa City off of Dubuque is home to a QR F.I.T. Trail where you can scan signs with your smart phone and find videos of different exercises to do along your route.

Coralville has over 20 miles of paved trails throughout the town. There is one trail that connects the North Liberty Trail to the Iowa River Corridor Trail. Coralville also has over 20 miles of future planned trails. There are 5 different Coralville trailheads (Brown Deer Golf Club, Camp Cardinal Trailhead, Coralville Youth Sports Park, Iowa Firefighters Memorial, and North Ridge Pavilion) all of which have restrooms, parking, and concessions.
Dubuque Street is also a great place to get out and get active. The sidewalk is extra wide and you can go from North Liberty to Iowa City. Its a very pretty trail that goes by pretty cornfields and over a river. You can also go by the huge wooden nickel over by I-80.

The North Liberty Recreational Trail runs 3.3 miles through North Liberty and links up to the Coralville tail. The parks and recreation department opened the trail in 1998 and has native prairie grass growing along the trail. There is also a bike shelter, drinking fountains and restrooms along the trail. To see a full map of all of the trails check out the North Liberty Parks and Rec website.

There are other fun places to have outdoor adventures. You can rent paddle boats or canoes at Lake McBride or Terry Trueblood Recreation Center. That is a fun way to get some exercise and have fun with your friend and family.

There are lots of other fun ways to Get Active as well. The rec centers around town have basketball courts and workout areas. Some even offer group exercise classes. There are also several yoga studios around town and zumba classes offered at a few different locations as well.

Now go outside and Get Active!!
