Trails

• Center Trails are an urban gem — tight trails twisting through lush woodland in the heart of the city. This 10-mile system of singletrack trails is named for its location in the center of the Des Moines metro and its proximity to the Des Moines Art Center and the former Science Center of Iowa (now home to The Academy).
• Sycamore Trail is managed by the Polk County Conservation Board. The 6.5-mile Sycamore Trail along the west bank of the Des Moines River. It’s a wide, flat dirt trail open to bicycling, hiking and cross-country skiing.
