Riverview Recreation Area is OPEN!
We opened Riverview Recreation Area today (August 14th)! The contractor finished grading around noon and the Army Corps of Engineers inspector left shortly after. We opened the gates as they left and riders were there waiting. I cannot tell you how HAPPY I AM TO BE DONE WITH THIS!!! Wayne was there to see the project completed, Steve came in to dress up a few places and we opened for business. A big thank you goes out to Wayne for all his help and time up there. By being closed this long, we were able to work on the tracks and trails, so I want to tell everyone to go slow on your first lap around the park as some things have changed. We have orange fence up where the chain link will be installed soon, so stay away from those areas. Please come ride and be safe.

Waterloo is one of few cities in Iowa to boast a state sanctioned OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) park in an urban setting. Construction of this facility was made possible through cooperation of the City of Waterloo, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa OHV Association, and the Trailblazers Off Road Club. In late 1998 a lease agreement was approved between the City of Waterloo and the Trailblazers Club. The 15-year lease allowed the club to develop approximately 180 acres into an OHV park with two MX tracks, a flat track, a large parking lot, and many miles of ATV trails. Activities in the park are largely family- oriented. A typical weekend finds the large lot filled with trucks, trailers, and people of all ages riding the trails. Cooperation among many groups and agencies has led to the successful creation of this motorized recreation area.
