The Wabash Trace Nature Trail is a 63-mile (101 km) rail trail located in Iowa which stretches from the city of Council Bluffs southeast to the city of Blanchard.[1][2]
This rail trail was part of the Wabash Railroad's Omaha to St. Louis rail line. It passes through the towns of Mineola, Silver City, Malvern, Imogene, Shenandoah, Coin and Blanchard. For most of the trail's course, a thin line of trees and bushes parallels the trail. It follows streams such as Silver Creek, Four Mile Creek, Tarkio Creek, and the Tarkio River. The grade is a very gentle one, which is downhill as one pedals northwestward to Council Bluffs. From Silver City northward, one can coast most of the way.[1][2][3]
