There are so many great trails in Kansas that it can be difficult to pick just one to explore on a free day. We’ve got so many gorgeous natural surroundings, and there are so many types of hikes to choose from! One that’s on the longer side but is just perfect for experienced hikers in Kansas looking for their next challenge is the Wyandotte County Lake Loop Trail.

This trail is long: at just under 10 miles, it'll take most hikers a little over four hours to complete on foot. The elevation gain is just over 1,200 feet, making it a moderately difficult hike.

It's also popular for mountain biking and horseback riding.
While that longer distance may scare off some novice hikers, don't be afraid! You certainly don't have to traverse the entire loop and there's nothing wrong with starting small.

The terrain on this hike is ever-changing. You'll head through all sorts of scenery and get the opportunity to check out woods, fields, rocky areas, and streams.
