The sauk rail trail association

Picture
The Sauk Rail Trail Association was formed in January of 2014 and has nine directors from both Carroll and Sac Counties.  It is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to the  promotion, education, welfare, and upkeep of the Sauk Rail Trail.  Currently, the SRTA sponsors the Spring Ride held at the end of April.  All proceeds go towards trail improvements.  The funds raised the Sauk Rail Trail events along with private donations have allowed the association to assist Carroll and Sac County to make the following improvements on the trail:
  • Cement a portion of the trail South of Breda that had been gravel 
  • Helped to cement ALL bridges that were previously wooden surface except the bridge north of Maple River and South of the rail road tracks between Carroll and Maple River
  • Paid for a portable restroom facility along the trail
  • Build the Houlihan Access Shelter in Carroll, Iowa

Looking ahead, the SRTA has plans to help cement three gravel crossings at the DNR locations between Lake View and Carnarvon, assist the Sac Conservation with building an additional shelter along the trail, provide additional portable restroom facilities along the trail, improve signage along the trail and in the communities.  In addition, the Association is working with the City of Carroll to improve and integrate the trail within Carroll.
"Even if I only make the trail once a year, it's a highlight. Thanks again to all of you who work so hard to maintain and improve this gem."
