New Bike Park in…Iowa?

I cannot express how strange it felt typing that title and this entire post. This is the Prairie Rock Trails Bike Park in Mason City Iowa. It was designed and built by Rock Solid Trail Contracting. Video is from the soft launch recently. A grand opening is in Spring of next year.

The bike park features two hubs with progressive lines. It has something for every level of rider. I saw about everything at the soft launch. From a 4 year old on a balance bike hitting a green line, to experienced riders on the multiple black mandatory gap jump lines. The park is adjacent to xc single track that extends into a conservation area for miles and miles of MTB riding.

Mason City is in between the Twin Cities and Des Moines, right off I-35. It’s a hidden gem buried in Northern Iowa.
