The terrain and vegetation of the parcel in which the Ash portion of the Sac & Fox Singletrack passes is slightly different to that of the Locust segment, with the singletrack trail exhibiting a bit more varied characteristics for the user (i.e. trail flow, scenery, etc.).

The most significant difference between the two segments is proximity to the rail tracks as the singletrack and multi-modal trails converge to share the rail line underpass; it should be noted that the section closest to the underpass is lowest in elevation and prone to flooded and soggy conditions when the Cedar River is high.

*note: as a bi-directional trail it is relatively easy to access this segment via Indian Creek Nature Center.

Access Info

The Ash singletrack picks up from the same bridge / equestrian crossing where Locust comes to an end, heading parallel to the Sac & Fox and re-entering the multi-modal trail prior to the railroad bridge underpass.
