Our Mission

The Manson Trail is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive network that provides local and regional connections for the residents of Manson, Iowa, and surrounding areas. We strive to promote a healthy lifestyle and increase the overall quality of life by offering a well-maintained trail system for walking, biking, and other recreational activities. The Manson Trail currently is .7 miles from Highway 7 to 7th Avenue, with future plans to complete the trail to the Fairgrounds.
