Raccoon River Valley Trail User Survey
The Raccoon River Valley Trail Association wants to hear from you! Whether you’re a daily rider, a weekend walker, or an occasional visitor, your input helps shape the future of the Raccoon River Valley Trail. We’re conducting a brief Trail User Survey to better understand how people use the trail, what amenities matter most, and where improvements are needed. Your feedback will guide future projects, enhance user experiences, and strengthen our efforts to keep the RRVT one of Iowa’s premier recreational destinations. The survey takes just a few minutes to complete — and every response helps us plan for the next generation of trail users. Please complete the survey by December 31, 2025
