★★★★★james StreitBeautiful area for outdoor stuff we ran on the trail it was great
★★★★Emmett JVery nice trail, can lead to the road to Ely, about 10 miles away. The trail itself is only 1 or 2 miles. Edit: there's a fork in the trail, one leading to Ely and the other trailing across the Lake McBride northern shore, leading eventually to the McBride campgrounds and beach. The Ely path is 2 miles without the actual car roads, and the McBride trail is 5 miles, with some road in between the end of the trail and the campgrounds.
★★★★★Craig AllinLovely city park and recreation complex on the west side of Solon, Iowa. It features a huge parking area, playing fields for a variety of sports, two modern restrooms, the Timber Dome Lodge (available to rent for events), and a pleasant loop hiking trail. It serves as the Southern trailhead for a nearly continuous bicycle trail that travels north 80+ miles through Ely, Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, Center Point, and eventually to Waterloo & Cedar Falls. No fees or permits for the portion of the trail between here and Cedar Rapids, which is 100% paved. The 30 mile round trip from here to the Czech Village/NewBo neighborhood on the south side of Cedar Rapids is especially popular. This park also serves as the eastern terminus of a gravel trail that runs along the north shore of Lake McBride and ends at the Lake McBride State Park beach.
★★★★★Maria Houser ConzemiusParking was a breeze. Handicapped parking is accessible and convenient. The trail is in great shape. We noticed a new fire hydrant before the bridge near the trail with ground cleared around it, probably to put a waterline in. The weather is warm and windy 4/9/23 Easter Sunday.
★★★★★Frank HaegeAmazing park and green space especially for a small town. There are football, baseball and soccer fields for days. There is a nice little disc golf course. They have a great basketball court here with a colored plastic time floor and large glass backboards. There is a small playground for little kids. A bike train runs right thru it and is a trailhead for biking, walking, jogging to lake McBride, Ely and beyond. Tons of parking, they are also working on a large splash pad!
