Cedar Lake

Highlight • Lake

Cedar Lake is a distinctive body of water, bordered by the Union Pacific Rail Yard on one side and the interstate on the other. It remains hidden from view until you reach the Cedar Lake Trail. Despite its urban surroundings, this lake serves as a pleasant escape. The southeast shore features the Cedar Lake Trail, providing nice views over the water and open to pedestrians, joggers, and cyclists.

16th Avenue Bridge (Bridge of Lions)

Highlight • Bridge

This is a great place to cross the Cedar River. The 16th Avenue Bridge (Bridge of Lions) is a locally renowned bridge that is open to cars, bikes, and pedestrians. You can visit the Czech side and the Slovak side of the town via this bridge. Both sides of the town are interesting, with plenty of shopping and eating places. The best thing for the cyclist, however, is that the views over the Cedar River from here are superb, especially upstream.
