Landon Nature Trail

Another fantastic Topeka multi-use trail is the Landon Nature Trail, a concrete pathway that bisects the city north to south for up to 24 miles. The north end starts at 17th Street (Cushinberry Park). It continues for 3.8 miles to SE 45th Street, where the terrain shifts to gravel. The mostly gravel path runs for an additional 20 miles to W 157 Street near Overbrook. Near Topeka, the best sections to run is near Lakewood Park. The rural dirt sections near the Topeka Regional Airport are also quite beautiful.
