Parks and Recreation
Love staying active and/or watching sports? Then you’ll love Hiawatha, Iowa. Name a sport and we offer it in the Corridor. We have semi-pro teams in baseball, hockey, football, and soccer. Youth leagues and YMCA programs are available in every sport imaginable. And you can cheer on nearby college teams, including the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.
Trails
Hikers, runners, and cyclists love our many miles of pristine trails throughout the county. The Cedar Valley Nature Trail, for example, begins in beautiful Hiawatha and provides 51 miles of scenic land north to Waterloo, Iowa.
Dog Parks
Got a pet pooch? Enjoy Hiawatha’s new Dog Park, which is adjacent to the nature trail and features off-leash areas for your four-legged friends.
Golf Courses
Golfers can tee off at more than 16 private and public golf courses within a 30-mile radius. That includes the new Mini Pines golf course, located 7 minutes from Hiawatha City Hall. And if snow skiing and snowboarding is more your style, hop in the car and head east to Sundown Mountain Resort in Dubuque or Chestnut Mountain Resort in Galena, Illinois
