Konza Prairie's hiking trails wind through lowland gallery forest, cross Kings Creek, and climb over ancient limestone ledges into the native tallgrass prairie. At the highest points, enjoy spectacular views of the Flint Hills and the Kansas River Valley.
Six miles of hiking trails are open daily from dawn to dusk. Experience Flint Hills geology throughout our trail system. Enjoy a moderate walk with occasional steep climbs, uneven footing and narrow pathways. To protect the trail and hikers, the trail is occasionally closed during wet conditions or controlled burning.
Choose from hiking loops of 2, 4, or 6 miles, depending on hiking ability and time available.
The nature trails are provided by K-State Division of Biology and Friends of Konza Prairie. Maintenance of trails depends on voluntary user contributions.
