Ride Guide: Captain Roy's to Easter Lake

Updated: Apr 2, 2024

Sitting at Captain Roy's, and want to get some miles in but don't have a lot of time? Might I recommend riding to Easter Lake and back! It's a quick easy 18.5 mile ride from Roy's to Easter Lake.

Head towards downtown along the Des Moines River and cross the bridge towards Mullets. Follow the trial from Mullets along the Des Moines River Trail, until you find Easter Lake. Take a gorgeous stroll around the lake before heading back towards Captain Roy's.

For an avid cyclist you can do this route in under an hour and a half.


Use the attached GPX file as a suggested map for this ride. On your phone, use a GPX app like Ride With GPS, or GPX Viewer. Whatever your preference is, you should be able to load the file to it.
