Get to Know Cedar Falls
Prep for Your Cedar Falls Visit
Tucked between rolling farmland and the Waterloo metro area, Cedar Falls is a transition point between rural and city living. The tidy, red-brick downtown hearkens back to its 19th century beginnings when settlers fell in love with the forested areas along the river. Expansive natural areas along the Cedar River beckon you to explore nearly 100 miles of land and water trails to discover the beauty that inspired people to anchor their lives along its shores. Pack your water bottles and strap on your hiking shoes as you prepare to discover the natural beauty of Cedar Falls.
