Description:
From the Kansas Birding and Natural Heritage Trails website:

The Manhattan Linear Park Trail, though now approximately 9 miles long, will eventually circle the entire city of Manhattan. A wide path with limited slopes and a trail surface that varies from limestone screenings to concrete sidewalks, makes it ADA accessible and a fun trail for all ages.


The trail crosses very few roads, adding to its safety. Trail users are typically on bicycle or foot, enjoying the scenery Manhattan has to offer. Ten access points to the trail, several with parking areas, make it convenient for users entering or leaving the trail. Signage and distance markers act as guides to let you choose the distance you wish to go and benches and rest areas encourage you to stop and enjoy the views. Portions of the trail were constructed on top of a levee on the south side of town. Vistas of the Kansas River, the Big Blue River, Wildcat Creek, and the outskirts of Manhattan can all be enjoyed from the trail.

The trail is open to users one hour before sunrise and closes one hour after sunset.
