High Trestle Trail Grand Celebration

Event Summary

After seven years of development, the complete 25-mile long High Trestle Trail will finally open to the public with a Grand Celebration. All towns along the trail will provide activities throughout the day in celebration of this formal grand opening. Food, music, art displays, exhibits, games, and tours are just a few things to look forward to. Most activities will take place between 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Bikers and walkers are welcome to travel the whole 25 miles from Ankeny to Woodward or pick a shorter route between a few of the towns. Visitors that don’t want to use the trail that day can simply visit the communities of Ankeny, Sheldahl, Slater, Madrid and Woodward to see what they have to offer. Just be sure you visit the highlight of the trail which is the ½ mile long, 13-story high art bridge that spans across the Des Moines River between Madrid and Woodward.  

Details about the event will be published as they are finalized at www.hightrestletrail.info. Community “passports” will be available prior to the event to help guide you along the trail and through the towns.
