Trail description:
The Twin Lakes Trail encircles beautiful North and South Twin Lakes, two glacial lakes in Calhoun County. North Twin is a recreational lake with three state parks, two county parks, water sports, a very active sailing association, a restored native Iowa prairie, and a large public campground. South Twin Lake is a wildlife refuge and also the home of the scenic lakeside Twin Lakes Golf Course. All but half a mile of this more-than-12-mile trail are complete, with nearly seven miles of hard surface. Much of the trail follows the lake and has wonderful lakeside views.
