Cedar Niles Park occupies over 950-acres of mixed woodland, streams and wildflowers in Johnson County, Kansas. The park features bike and walking trails to appeal to a variety of tastes. There are over 4 miles of singletrack mountain biking trails at the north end of the park. There's also a 4 mile hike-and-bike trail that winds from 135th Street up to 119th Street and then on to Clare Road. Each trailhead has parking, restrooms, water fountains and bike repair stations. The major trailhead at 135th Street also has a playground and a picnic shelter.
Development of the park is an ongoing process, with other recreation amenities and ecological restoration planned for the future. But the Cedar Niles Park Trail is open for use and a fun, family friendly way to explore the park.
Parking available at the three trailheads:
We rode from 119th St trailhead to the 135th St trailhead and back. There are excellent parking areas at each trailhead. Porta-potties were available at trailheads. The paved trail surface was excellent. There were some steep punchy climbs as the trail went from one side of the cedar creek valley to the other. At the time we rode the trail ( December 2025) there was a pipeline construction project underway. The construction crossed the trail in 2 spots but the temporary gravel surface was passable. The trail had us feeling that we were out in the wilderness..
Beautiful trail but I’m not sure why they didn’t make it a complete circle as it doesn’t really lead to anything.
This is a wonderful new trail that is scenic and well maintained. It’s also not currently overly populated with users but everyone is respectful on the trail. Hills are the biggest challenge!!! It is not for someone who is looking for a flat ride.
