arkansas river trail

You can stroll, jog, or power walk, the choice is yours. Museums, parks are located along the way. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Very safe and families with their dogs come out in the evening.

A long concreted track along the side of the river all the way through town, down to the South. Great asset to the city

Soooo glad we went! Very pretty landscaping - lots of photo ops. The Keeper of the Plains and all of the info about the Native American history was very impressive and informative. Made me proud of my Native heritage!

We walked from the Keeper of the Plains - over the bridge and towards the Troll. Lovely hot summers day - people walking, jogging and just relaxing in their lunch break. On the way back we watched the Herons wading. Nice pitstop on the road trip.

Well maintained and usually lovely place to stroll. Much prettier when the water is abundant of course. Some nice places along the walk to take photographs, too.

My family loves this place! We go weekly. It's a great walk and you must see the Keeper at night with the fire!

Until I had the opportuntiy to stay at the Hyatt in Wichita, I had no idea this trail existed. It is right out the door of the Hyatt (as well as a couple of other downtown Wichita hotels). There is a wide paved path on each side of the river, starting just south of US-400, and extending north farther than I've been able to run. There is much to see while running/walking/biking along the trail, including the Veterans Memorial, waterfalls, Keeper of the Plains statue and foot bridge, and Exploration place to name a few. There is a comfortable amount of traffic on the path from dawn to dusk....just enough so you don't feel alone, but not enough to be crowded. There are park benches scattered along the way for those wanting to just sit and relax. What I wouldn't do to have a trail like this near my home!

I was in Wichita for a conference at the Hyatt. The riverfront is spectacular: so inviting, clean and very scenic. The 2 mile loop from the Hyatt to the Keeper of the Plains walking bridge is outstanding - loved it!

Wow what an awesome place! If I lived near there I would be walking or biking that trail everyday! it is beautiful right on the river and so clean!

Great view of downtown from the river and a nice park area. Make sure to go back at night when they light the ring of fire.

I enjoyed walking the path around the Keeper of the Plains in Wichita. It was a nice spring day with birds chirping and flying. Very nice scenery and enjoyed the Keeper of the Plains Sculpture. This is a free attraction meant to be enjoyed by all. I'm glad I had some time to relax here.

Not far from the Troll, you will find the Veterans' Memorial. It is a beautifully presented remembrance of those who stood for us. A truly special place.

Even though it was a little chilly (in November) and the river was nearly dry, we really enjoyed our stroll... very relaxing! The trail must be incredible when the river has more water in it!

The city of Wichita has done a wonderful job improving this area around the beautiful Keeper of the Plains sculpture. It has been raised to a majestic height, and there are interesting displays around the base with information about the Indians who lived in this area. Great areas to enjoy a walk along the river.

The river was really low so we were able to walk over to the keeper of the plains island across the river bottom. I had 15 kids with me on a youth group trip and they loved it. You also have to look for the troll in the cage nearby. Great area to spend a couple of hours.
