Description

Very punchy 7.23 mile loop in Geode State Park located in Des Moines County Iowa.

Single track trail that circumnavigates Lake Geode. 99 percent forest trail with some single track and rocky terrain. Beautiful trail that is well maintained through the Iowa DNR.  Course isn’t flat at all, you are either descending or climbing around every corner. Constantly changing direction.
