Description
The 10-mile Arkansas River Path is Wichita's longest and most popular multi-use trail, running mainly along the southwest bank of the Big Arkansas River between 21st Street (near I-235) and Galena Street at S. Washington Street. There are also two disjointed paths along the west bank of the river; one parallels McLean Boulevard between Seneca Street and 13th Street. Here you can link in Sims Park via a pedestrian bridge (near Central and McLean Boulevard). The other loop is between Kellogg Street and Central Avenue.
The Arkansas River Path provides access to parks and city attractions, including museums, the stadium, ice rink and the zoo.
