Cycling

The Flint Hills Trail travels through tallgrass prairie and along riverside bluffs. It also offers a chance to stop at historic sites, such as the Allegawaho Heritage Memorial Park near Council Grove.

A few steps away from Martini Corner and historic Union Hill, the 816 Bicycle Collective is transforming the lives of some of the city's most vulnerable residents.

No matter which kinds of outdoor activities you enjoy most, there are plenty of state parks to suit your needs on both sides of the Missouri-Kansas border.
