Yep one of my favorite trails was closed for part of the year because of high water. Even when it became passable, the water was very high for much of this summer.

Central Iowa has had flooded trails for a couple years now.
It's frustrating, but at the same time these trails are in certain locations for a reason- its land that isn't developable due to potential flooding. We shouldn't be surprised when it floods, as annoying as it may be.

That's right there in Water Works Park (Des Moines)
I come south down Bill Riley, then right at the T, and the runs us right next to the river in WW. From there, I get to the Great Western trail, then down to Cummings.
The park is pretty nice, with several trail connections.
