Descrption: Largely
a rustic, unimproved trail through woodlands and wetlands. The trail is
paved for about 1.5 miles, between Imagination Glen Park (Samuelson Road)
and Hamstrom Road. Much of the ballast has been removed, so some
portions of the trail can be muddy. Imagination Glen park, toward the
east end of the trail, has an extensive hiking and mountain biking trail
system. At the east end of the trail is a 10' concrete path leading to
the Prairie Duneland Trail.
Future Plans: Subsequent
phases of Iron Horse Heritage Trail development will pave to Woodland
Park and points further west of the downtown Portage area. In time,
the trail will be routed to the new beach front park.
