If you visit the Amana Colonies near the Lily Lake between Amana and Middle villages, you will find the 3.1 mile trail connecting them. It is an easy, flat trail for locals and visitors to bike, walk, cross country ski or skate. The trail is paved most of the way with the south side gravel. Along the way you will experience gorgeous views of the blooming lotus on the lake, the Millrace canal, pastures, cows, farmland, forests, backyards, a memorial brick garden, numerous wildlife species. Some animals live here, others are migrating. Lots of nature sounds, flora and fauna will captivate you!
The Amana Golf Course and East Amana are also nearby and accessible via a marked route. Parking is on the north side of the Lily lake where you can also find picnic tables to sit a bit and rest or nosh while you enjoy the fragrance of the lotus. The trail is open year round and dogs on leashes are welcome! Ctac photos
