New biking experiences await in Dubuque, where the recently opened Cloie Creek Mountain Bike Park offers a 2.5-mile trail with banked turns, jumps, climbs and a creek crossing open to all skill levels and ages. The project’s collaborative team will open trails at the Interstate Power Preserve this July with six miles of cross-country singletrack, a primary loop for beginners and three additional loops.
The 26-mile Heritage Trail—stretching from Dubuque to Dyersville—continues to be a popular option for bikers, says Taylor Cummings, director of marketing with Travel Dubuque.
“Dubuque is really starting to embrace a diverse group of bikers, from nature enthusiasts to really avid mountain bikers,” Cummings says. “The offerings and the attractions, restaurants and support around biking make Dubuque a great biking destination.”
The city also has dozens of recreation trails for bikers. For more information, email Cummings or visit traveldubuque.com.
