Confirmed from Tourist 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.
This 10-acre recreation area on the Cedar River has an 18-hole disc golf course & a picnic shelter.
What runners say about Tourist Park
Oldest disc golf course in Iowa. A bunch of great ace run holes. Gets rough if it floods.
Trail conditions & character
“I would give it 5 stars if the bathrooms where updated.”
