Dickinson County Recreation Trails

The Iowa Great Lakes Trail winds its way through the Iowa Great Lakes region, which offers plenty of outdoor opportunities for visitors – from its popular blue lakes and sandy beaches to quieter natural areas. The multi-use Iowa Great Lakes Trail provides local citizens and visitors a safe place to bike, walk, and run. The trail winds around the lakes and through communities in the heart of the Iowa Great Lakes Region, including Spirit Lake, Okoboji, West Okoboji, Arnolds Park, Milford and Wahpeton.

While the area boasts well over 60 miles of dedicated trails, the “spine” of the system is a 14-mile, ten-foot wide, hard-surface trail that accommodates two-way recreational traffic. Connecting to the spine trail are several other trails to explore, including the Kenue Park Trail, Arnolds Park City Trail and Spirit Lake City trail. The trail loops around the east and west sides of Big Spirit Lake where it joins the Loon Lake Trail (Jackson County, MN) at the Mini-Wakan State Park.
