WYANDOTTE COUNTY LAKE PARK REVIEWS

On the first nice day of the year, the place was packed but everyone was friendly and courteous. People were fishing, grilling out, picnicing, all in all having fun. The park was clean, even the restrooms. The Bridle Loop trail was well maintained and well marked, even though a few spots were still wet. Plenty of tables, fire pits, grills, and grassy spots to hang out. There were mostly large families and large gatherings that day.

You really need to see it because it is an amazing place. You can picnic with family and friends ride boats hike fishing bicycle around and so much more.

Great park. I only spent a couple of hours there, but had a nice time. Hiked a couple of trails.

KAW POINT PARK REVIEWS

Great historic spot with scenic views and nature trail. It also has a boat ramp to access both Kansas and Missouri rivers.

The view is beautiful, and while I was there, I was able to watch a couple of geese swimming in the river.

It's a great place to walk the dogs and just enjoy the day.

ROZARKS NATURE TRAIL REVIEWS

Love hiking here. It’s beautiful, multiple access/exit points, varying degrees of difficulty, never really very “busy.” Great way to escape the city, while in the city, and especially perfect if you only have an hour or less. Great view of downtown from Rosedale Arch (prohibited by trees somewhat in the summer). Somewhat dense foliage during the hike on either sides, trail gets narrow. Single file line if hiking with others. Insect repellant recommended (straight up lemon eucalyptus oil works best, if not a fan of DEET). Not the best if you’re seeking bird/wildlife encounters. Watch for spider webs that are inevitably across the path - I always find a decent size stick/twig (best if it’s bushy/has leaves still) and use that to hold in front of me. Works like a charm. Some water features by the Fischer Park part of the trails. They also have a “Pump Pit” hidden in there - a small loop designed with small hills and sharp turns for biking enthusiasts.

What a fantastic trail! So this is clearly a hiking trail but a lot of folks seem to use it for mountain biking. There's even a trail loop down near the bottom of the hill for mountain biking/parkour. I had such a great time there with my friend! I will absolutely be back. To say that I'm embarrassed that I didn't know about this park until just yesterday is an understatement!.

It's a nice trail area, but just fyi the paths can be very narrow and steep at times. Also a lot of bugs, so be sure to wear bug spray.
