We love this trail and ride it at least weekly. Connects to a couple of other trails, the Indian creek in Overland Park and one that heads east into Missouri out of lee park. We often do a loop of about 25 miles without ever leaving the trail. It is well maintained and for the most part pretty bike friendly. It can be very busy at times with walkers, dog owners, joggers and family kiddos so during the obvious busier times like right before or after dinner and on the weekend mornings be extra cautious. Beware too after big rains as some of the under road passes get muddy and surprise you. Overall a great trail and we feel blessed to have it so close.

I consider this trail to be my "home" trail. I can get on the trail within a mile of my house. I ride all the way into Missouri on this trail and the Indian Creek Trail. I think Tomahawk Trail is among the best in Johnson Co.

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.
