Description:
Paralleling Turkey Creek from the Waterfall Park north of Kansas City for 10 miles south to downtown Kansas City, the Turkey Creek Streamway Trail provides useful connections to a number of community features. The trail connects to residential developments, commercial and industrial centers, and public parks. There are plans to extend the trail north toward the Kansas River and into Missouri.

Water fountains are available at Chatlain Park, at the Merriam Farmer's Marketplace and at Waterfalls Park. A handicap accessible porta-toilet is available at Chatlain Park, and there are restrooms at the Merriam Farmer's Marketplace but may be open only when the market is open (Saturdays and Wednesdays May-October, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.) or during other special events.

OK., trail in a very convenient location
By juliecirlin in May, 2012
The Turkey Creek trail is less than 4 miles in length (8 roundtrip). The park areas en route are lovely and there is a scenic waterfall too. It is much prettier in months when foliage is heavy, blocking some of the industrial features along the trail.
A very nice little trail

This trail roughly parallels Turkey Creek, railroad, and light industrial areas. That said, the city has done a good job of maintaining and beautifying the trail. The asphalt and concrete surfaces are in good shape, with major sections of the asphalt resurfaced in 2011. There is good shade for much of the trail, several rest areas with benches and/or tables, two places to get water (Chatlain Park, Waterfalls Park) restroom facilities (Chaitlan Park, Merriam Farmer's Marketplace when market is open)
