Confirmed from Siouxland Freedom Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“Beautiful place, and the dog park is big and has two separate enclosed spaces”

Really nice place. Loved the Vietnam Memorial wall memorial. I found my cousin's name on it. Walked out to the first Freedom Rock in NE. I love checking them out whenever we know where they are. We've been to a lot in Iowa. I'm giving it 4 stars because there's no path to the rock so you have to walk through the grass.

★★★★☆ — Sue , Sep 2022

There's a very nice walking / biking path in the park that goes along the river. The bike repair station is a great idea. Along the walk was a shelter area with picnic tables, a water park, and a view of the golf course on the other side of the river. A very relaxing experience!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
