Trolley Trail between Mason City and Clear Lake now open

Effective April 21, 2011, the Trolley Trail between Mason City and Clear Lake has been swept and is open for the season excluding the section 800’ west of the Eisenhower Ave intersection due to Mason City utility construction. The trail construction is in the process of being repaired and resurfaced. The 5-mile recreational paved trail, located along B-35 from Hoover Ave in Mason City west to Indigo Ave, is used for biking, running, rollerblading and walking. All motorized vehicles are prohibited on the trail. The trail is mowed and swept as needed by the County Conservation Board staff. As a reminder, any organized event using the trail must be pre-approved by the Conservation Board so other users of the trail will have advanced notice.
