Sibley, Iowa — Recreational trails continue to be constructed in Osceola County. Quite a bit of trail work has been completed recently.
We talked to Doris Hoffman with the Osceola Recreational Trails Association, and she says they recently poured a large amount of trail.
Hoffman gives us a little history of the trails in Osceola County.
She says that the process was sped up quite a bit, thanks to their friends from a community to the west.
She says they now have over 12,000 feet or 2.3 miles of trails.
According to Hoffman, the Ed Winkel Memorial Trail is former railroad right-of-way, once owned by the Rock Island Line, and later by Chicago Northwestern Railroad. She says the trail is paved to Pierce Avenue and is grass and gravel from there, but she says the right-of-way has the potential to go all the way past the Iowa Great Lakes area to Superior, Iowa.
