Welcome to a Sac County Conservation Board nature area!
The Sauk Rail Trail is a 33 mile concrete or asphalt multi-use recreational trail located and managed by both the Sac and Carroll County Conservation Boards. It is the first recreational trail in the state of Iowa to connect two state parks. You can start in Lake View near Blackhawk Lake State Park or in Swan Lake State Park south of Carroll. Both state parks have lakes and camping facilities.
*The nearby shelter was built in 2017 with donations provided by Rosemary and DG Partridge.**
