2018 – Investment: $4,000
An ongoing project of the Solon Area Community Foundation has been the North Shore Trail between Solon and Lake Macbride State Park. The trail is a 5-mile trek from Solon to the entrance of the park and is open to hikers, bicyclists, cross-country skiers and snowmobilers. The project took almost five years of work by the Solon Area Community Foundation and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, with a significant share of the money for the trail coming from the Foundation. The trail was completed and dedicated in 1989.
