Future trail section to run under I-80/I-380 to
Tiifin by 2024. From Tiffin, the trail extends to
Kent Park.
This portion of the Clear Creek Trail, from the UI Recreation Fields on Hawkeye Drive to
Creekside Cross on 340th Street at the far west end, is approximately 4.25 miles. East of Camp
Cardinal Blvd., the trail winds through a wooded area that offers scenic views of Clear Creek
and is fairly hilly. West of Camp Cardinal the trail winds through woods and open
grassland/prairie with no hills.
Restrooms, water, and parking are available at the Tom Harkin Trailhead on Camp Cardinal
Blvd., which marks the midpoint of the trail. On weekends the parking area can be full but there
are plenty of other places where you can park to access the trail:
•On-street parking is available near the Hawkeye Recreation Fields and at the
Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Facility.
•During the evening and weekends University parking areas open up on Hawkeye
Park Road.
•Parking is available at the Coralville softball complex off 340th Street
•Access the trail from 12th Avenue and at 25th Avenue via the at-grade crossings at
signalized intersections.
•Access from 5th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue via a trail that will take you under
Highway 6/2nd Ave and under the IAIS Railroad (the rainbow tunnel).
Due to its proximity to the creek and surrounding wetlands, the Clear Creek Trail is not cleared
of snow and ice during the winter. This is to avoid using chemicals to melt the ice near the creek.
