I ride this trail almost every day, and the only thing preventing it from being five stars in my book is the fact that the pavement is showing some signs of age. There are a few nasty utility cuts in the section just north of Leawood Park and some quick patchwork has made for uneven surfaces in several areas. This is nothing that couldn't be fixed by a good resurfacing, but it seems the trail was much better maintained in the 90s. Having said that, the trail rewards riders and walkers with great views of the creek and I get a good wildlife picture almost every time I ride it. A few days ago I had to slow down for a mom and some kids on bikes while crossing the creek just north of the park and caught a doe getting a cool drink about 25 feet away.

Very easy to get to - and despite being in suburbia, gives you the peaceful feeling of being in nature. Creek-crossing bridges, many trees, wildlife including birds, squirrels, and even a turtle or two resting on rocks in the creek. A few "ponds" to enjoy and nicely paved trail perfect for biking, hiking/walking.
