You can take the loop as many times as you want since it’s so short. Bonding with family out in nature is a great way to enjoy everything Kansas has to offer.

Dogs are allowed on the trail as long as they are leashed, and the trail isn’t built very well for mountain biking. There’s lots of foot traffic!
