Amana Colony Trails manages and maintains the recreational trail through grants and the generous contributions from community and surrounding community members/businesses. In addition to these funds, money is also raised through various options mentioned below.
Our goal is to extend the existing trail to link the villages of the Amana Colonies and to connect our trail with other nearby recreational trails in Eastern Iowa while ensuring the Trail continues to excite, engage, and educate visitors now and in the future.
