7 Beautiful Hikes In Kansas That Lead To Fairytale Foot Bridges
To make a great hiking trail in Kansas, all you need is our beautiful scenery and a marked way to navigate it. Kansas is naturally beautiful, and as long as we have a place to cross a river, a place to walk through the brush, and things to see. Thankfully, these beautiful hikes in Kansas have foot bridges to take care of the water, and nature does the rest.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Though some of us don't consider parks part of the "hiking trails" group, but for some of us, this is about all we can manage. So, enjoy this hike through a beautiful garden and across this picturesque bridge!
This beautiful park has a small trail leading up to the three falls, and it includes this cute little foot bridge. We can't get enough of leaning over to see the mini waterfall flowing (or frozen!) in any season.
Enjoy walking through small towns like Moline? Then you'll love making your own mini hiking trail and enjoying the largest swinging bridge in Kansas along the way.
This beautiful area of Kansas is home to a Civil War Battlefield where a 2.6 mile nature trail interprets the battle to the best of history's ability.
This little welcome trail of sorts is perfect for viewing the local scenery, or just enjoying a nice bridge along a small hike. Who doesn't love a bridge now and then?
This rail trail is 6.5 miles long, between Iola and Humboldt, Kansas. There's plenty of wildlife and natural beauty, but we prefer to spend the most time at this historic bridge.
There are actually quite a few bridges along this trail, both big and small. It will take a long time to complete the trail, but each section brings new surprises.
If you’d rather go to one place to have your mind blown instead of traveling to many, check out this state park that has everything you’d ever want.
