The way points of this bicycle route:
Parking is at Tait Cummins Access, right off C Street SW past the railroad tracks on your left.
The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway would have continued straight from here. However, the trail will continue to hover next to the Cedar River. Be wary of limited sight distance here.
Don't sniff the air around here too much, depending on the mood of the wind, it could get pretty smelly around here. The industries are right across the river here.
The historic iron-cast railroad bridge is still here.
Parking from the Skate Park is located across the street. Cross the 16th Avenue SW Bridge.
Turn left, the trail will continue to follow the Cedar River from this side from now on.
You could continue straight, but you'll eventually have to backtrack back here. Turn right onto 8th Avenue.
Turn left here.
Take a break here if you'd like, in the midst of the lively downtown environment.
Cross 1st Avenue. Very busy here, but you should be fine thanks to the crosswalk.
Hover left to stay on 4th St. 4th St. becomes Sickle Dr.
Continue to follow the trail here.
There's a nice loop here, if you are interested.
Keep to the right to follow the loop, otherwise continue straight.

Turn right to stick with the creek.
Cross J Avenue.
Be careful here, this is the most dangerous roadway to cross.
