Trail Access
Clear Creek Trail has been extended from east of Deer Creek Road to Creekside Ballpark, next to Coralville Creekside Cross. In the future, it will connect with Tiffin's trail west of I-380. The trail segments under the I-80 and I-380 bridges are not expected to open until 2024 due to the I-80/380 Systems Interchange project. Clear Creek Trail information
