The Burroughs Creek Trail and Linear Park runs from 11th to 23rd streets along the abandoned rail corridor just west of Haskell Avenue in Lawrence, Kansas. The trail was made possible through the work of the city's Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments as well as neighborhood associations.
The 1.7-mile-long trail follows Burroughs Creek and features extensive landscaping and benches. It's 10-foot width allows for multiple users and connects the
Haskell Rail Trail to downtown Lawrence.
