Best hikes in Kansas
Can I hike to historical sites in Kansas?
If you want to find exciting historical sites in Kansas, we recommend one specific trail. The Flint Hills hiking trail is Kansas' longest hiking trail at over 90 miles! The trail will take you to a railroad museum, a heritage park, a restaurant that is over 150 years old, and so much more. In between all the historical sites there is so much natural beauty to take in as well. Of course, 90 miles is a multi day hike and might be too much for a lot of people, but luckily, you can do just a portion of the trail if you'd prefer and still see lots of neat sites! Or maybe road tripping is more your style than hiking, then you may want to look at this trip we designed to historical places in Kansas.
Which state parks should I visit in Kansas?
Kansas has a mind boggling 28 state parks just waiting to be explored! While all of them are well worth your time, which park you visit depends on which kind of experience you are looking for. Mushroom Rock state park is a great choice for a family friendly adventure, the smallest of the state parks in Kansas is named after the stunning mushroom shaped rock formation it is home too. Kids will love feeling extra tiny under the mushroom rock, and it's a great spot for pictures. Should you want a park with lots of options for physical activity, then visit Lake Scott state park for hiking, fishing, and camping!
