Put on your detective caps and come out to the Jefferson County Trails system for the 2025 Jefferson County Trails Council Scavenger Hunt.
The Jefferson County Trails system will play host to this all-ages event from May 24 to July 4, 2025.
Participants will collect clues at 10 locations along the trail to be entered in a drawing for prizes from local businesses. Drawings for prizes will take place on the evening of July 4 during Fairfield First Fridays Art Walk.
This year marks the 11th Annual Scavenger Hunt on the Jefferson County Trails system. This year’s theme is “all things new.” Clues relate to new features or sites along the trails and city park system. This event is a great way to get out and see all the trails Fairfield and Jefferson County have to offer.
Participants can pick up scavenger hunt punch cards at The Ride: Bike Sales and Service (123 North Court Street), trailhead kiosks, Fairfield Recreation Center, and MIU Recreation Center.
Completed punch cards should be returned to The Ride: Bike Sales and Service or mailed to the Jefferson County Trails Council (P.O. Box 2375 Fairfield, IA 52556) by 5:00 PM July 3.
