Southwest Iowa Nature Trails, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization made up of volunteers who are committed to recreational trail development. SWINT members organize all official activities on the Wabash Trace. The 40 member SWINT Board of Directors, which is responsible for development and maintenance of the trail, represents the four counties in Iowa (through which the trail runs), as well as at large-membership membership from other Midwest states. SWINT works closely with the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and the Page County Conservaton Board to assure the continued existence of this great recreational resource.

    Here's what we do: bridge construction, trail maintenance, weed control, sign placement, special events planning, Adopt-a-Bridge/Bench/Mile programs, general fundraising, promotions, public relations, sale of User Passes, and more.

    If you would like to join SWINT, volunteer to work on any projects, or be a part of the Board, call any of the following Board members:

    Donations of any size will be gratefully accepted. Donating your time to work on the trail is one of the best ways to help.

    Although the Wabash Trace is privately owned, it is open to the public, subject to the trail use rules established by SWINT (see Rules and Passes). SWINT encourages use of the trail for group activities. Please contact the Board members listed above for more information about scheduling group events.
