Heritage Trail is a 26-mile (42 km) long, multiuse rail trail connecting Dubuque and Dyersville, Iowa.[1][2]

It is maintained by the Dubuque County Conservation Board, and was converted from a segment of the former Chicago Great Western railroad line between Chicago and Oelwein, Iowa.[citation needed] It is mostly surfaced with compacted, crushed limestone.[2] The county and the city of Dyersville recently sought to have the two mile segment adjacent to Dyersville paved.[3]
