Rapp Park Connector Trail
The Wabash Trace Rapp Park Connector Trail project will unite the 63 mile long Wabash Trace Nature Trail with other key services and outdoor recreation infrastructure in southwest Iowa. Connections will be made from the Sportsmans Park trailhead in Shenandoah to Page County Conservation’s Rapp Park and the Wabash Trace Cemetery Trailhead in Shenandoah. The project includes city, county and non-profit partnerships and will benefit not only residents but also business owners and tourists. It will increase accessibility and create safe routes to popular destinations. The benefits of this project reach throughout the region, as the Wabash Trace Nature Trail extends to the Omaha metro area on the northern end and the Missouri Border on the southern end. The trail connections will provide residents and visitors alike with important safe access to amenities like local parks and natural areas, swimming pools, tennis courts, ballfields, and campgrounds.
