The Flint Hills Nature Trail
The Flint Hills Nature Trail is a nearly 120 mile rail-trail under development in northeast Kansas. It crosses 7 counties, and dozens of communities, along its east-west course. As the name implies, it crosses the beautiful Flint Hills. The Flint Hills represent one of the last remaining tallgrass prairie ecosystems in the world. Recognized as one of the longest rail-trails in the United States, it is home to abundant prairie plant and wildlife species, spectacular views, national historic sites, and a diverse set of recreational areas.
This is your invitation to come see the sites, feel the prairie breezes, listen to the native tallgrass as it sways, smell the fragrance of a fresh rain, and travel without the confines and clutter of a car. This is your chance to journey with the bobwhite quail as your companion. The Flint Hills Nature Trail is your pathway to a beautiful world which few people experience. Come join us and see what it has for you.
