Mountain Bike Trails in Iowa State Parks
Iowa’s State Parks have many miles of multi-use trails. In most cases, these trails allow access to mountain bikes. Multi-use generally means biking, hiking, and trail running but in some cases, it can include equestrian riding, snowmobiling, and even cross country skiing.
NEW TRAIL DESCRIPTION
Banner Lakes at Summerset State Park
Banner Lakes at Summerset is one of Iowa’s newest State Parks. The unique terrain left by a coal mining operation makes the park a playground for mountain bikers, hikers, trail runners, fishers, and paddlers.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS
“My husband and I have relocated to NE Ohio, and although there are some really beautiful natural areas here I still get homesick for Iowa; that bandanna is displayed over my living room/office desk and serves as a wonderful reminder of home.”
“Matt, I had a chance to do all the trails in Pikes Peak State Park yesterday and your maps were really helpful.”
“Writing to you late at night from beside the last embers of the campfire. Just wanted to say thanks because with your maps and bandanas I have discovered areas of Ledges that I never imagined in my prior visits.”
