The South Tama Recreation Trail is a multi-use trail linking the adjacent communities of Tama and Toledo, Iowa. A one-mile portion of the trail along the abandoned Northern Iowa Railroad on the west side of Tama and Toledo opened in 2003 and an additional 0.8-mile segment in Tama was completed in 2005 and another 0.25-mile spur to the new STC Elementary was opened in November 2006. Additional spurs have been proposed and work is underway to extend the trail north under US Hwy 30 toward Toledo’s city park and softball/soccer/disc golf facilities in 2008.
The trail is being developed and constructed by the nonprofit “South Tama Recreation Trail Project”, a small group of local volunteers with support from the cities of Tama and Toledo.
Walkers, joggers, runners, hikers and cyclists are encouraged to use the trail for their recreational pursuits. The initial trail sections are easy to travel...very flat with a hard packed surface of crushed limestone. No motorized vehicles or horses will be permitted on the trail.
