Review:
Prairie Spirit Trail State Park is a Kansas State Park built around a rail trail. The 51-mile trail begins in Ottawa and ends in Iola, following the former route of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston railroad. The path is paved with hard-packed limestone and asphalt in different areas and is open to hikers, joggers, and bicyclists year-round, from sunrise to sunset. The Prairie Spirit Trail connects with two popular trails, the nine-mile-long Southwind Rail Trail which runs between Humboldt and Iola and the longer 117-mile long Flint Hills Trail which stretches from from Osawatomie to Herrington. Passing through charming rural Kansas communities, the Prairie Spirit Trail offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
