The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will receive $236,000 from the National Park Service under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) to construct a 10-foot-wide, 2,052-foot multi-use trail connecting Polk City, Iowa to future parkland and regional trails. As the sub-awardee, the Iowa DNR will use the September 1, 2022 awarded funds expiring May 31, 2025 to build phases of a trail linking the Neil Smith Trail and High Trestle Trail, increasing accessibility to recreation. This project supports the program's goal of developing outdoor recreation areas and facilities through projects identified in Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plans.
