Iowa Highway 13 begins at U.S. 30 southeast of Cedar Rapids in an overlap with U.S. Highway 151 at a freeway interchange just east of the Cedar River. It goes north as a divided highway through Bertram. It intersects Iowa Highway 100 at Marion and then separates from U.S. 151 in Marion as well. It continues north from Marion to Central City, where the divided highway ends. It goes north to Coggon, then turns east briefly before turning north again to go through Ryan. After passing through Ryan, it goes north to Manchester, where it intersects U.S. Highway 20. It continues north through Manchester and intersects Iowa Highway 3. It overlaps Iowa 3 and goes northwest into Strawberry Point, where they separate. Iowa 13 then turns northeast and intersects Iowa Highway 56 southwest of Elkader. After running along the eastern edge of Elkader, it then intersects Iowa Highway 128. It then continues northeast and ends at U.S. 52 near Farmersburg.
