Fairly hilly (for Iowa) and sandy in spots. Some trails are mowed paths in the <br />
prairie, others are dirt trails with roots and bridges. Overall, it's a wide trail <br />
and good for beginners.
Take exit 116 on Interstate 35 and head west. Turn north (right) on Dayton <br /><br />Ave. Turn east (right) on 180th St. The parking lot is up the hill and on your <br /><br />left. McFarland Park shares a parking lot with Story County Conservation.
