The National Park Service recently announced 28 trails as national recreation trails, including Lake Red Rock’s Volksweg Trail. National recreation trail designation recognizes existing trails and trail systems that link communities to recreational opportunities on public lands and in local parks across the nation. The 14-mile Volksweg Trail traverses timbered areas, restored prairies, pine plantations and open fields between Pella and Lake Red Rock. These newly designated trails add almost 650 miles to the National Trails System.
