Ankeny Trails for biking and walking
check out the website here
The blue trail or "high trestle trail" is very scenic and is very pretty! My brother and I have biked that trail a few times...don't be alarmed if you think you're going into the middle of nowhere, because you kind of are :)

Golf courses
For those of you who would like to try their hand at the golf courses in the area instead of walking or biking the trails there are 2 public courses in the Ankeny area. Here they are...

Otter Creek
you can find out more information here. They are open 6:30am until sundown and it's not far from my house in Ankeny. In the past few years they have completely changed the course and added homes to the area. It's a very nice course!


Woodland Hills
This is another course not far from Ankeny, and here is their website. I have never personally been to this course, but I have heard it is also very pretty.


Accoommodations
We have rooms booked at 2 hotels. Both are just over 2 miles down the road from wedding/reception site. Each hotel has rooms booked for both Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th. Just give them a call and ask them for a room under the name "Hagan/Johnson Wedding".
