RRVT News

The Raccoon River Valley Trail is showcased in a spectacular new, six-minute-long video which you can view free here in this story. It is the work of one of Iowa’s top video production companies.

PERRY, Iowa, March 18, 2007 – A gorgeous new look at the Raccoon River Valley Trail is now available free by clicking into one of the links at the bottom of this news story.

The video was completed in late winter to help support an application by the RRVT for funding from the Community Attraction & Tourism (CAT) fund of the Vision Iowa Program.

Most of the videography and production was done by Neil Zaugg, producer/editor at Applied Art and Technology, in West Des Moines. The company donated much of its time and professional services to the Dallas County Conservation Board, which along with the conservation boards in Greene and Guthrie Counties, owns and operates the trail.

Neil and his wife Laura Zaugg, who is one of the naturalists working for the Dallas County Conservation Board, are both users and advocates of the trail.

Welcome

RaccoonRiverValleyTrail.org is your online guide to a 56-mile-long paved trail along the branches of the beautiful Raccoon River through Greene, Guthrie and Dallas Counties.

You will experience the communities of Jefferson, Cooper, Herndon, Yale, Panora, Linden, Redfield, Adel and Waukee. And, going east, the RRVT connects with the extensive trail system in Iowa’s capital city of Des Moines

Thus, your trail experience will take you from a very vibrant metropolitan area out into some great small towns, which are located in one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world. Along your way you’ll find the food, beverages, entertainment, scenery, accommodations and ambience that will make every visit to the RRVT a memorable one.

We expect to be adding a 33-mile-long “North Loop,” with much of the work happening in 2011 and 2012. That will include the communities of Dallas Center, Minburn, Perry, Dawson and Jamaica.

All that is why we believe the RRVT is “becoming one of America’s best recreational trails.”
