Prairie Spirit Trail Trek

Location of Prairie Spirit Trail Trek

The Prairie Spirit Trail Trek is an annual autumn ride on the Prairie Spirit Trail State Park. There is a 44-mile route that starts in Ottawa and travels south to Garnett for lunch, and then back to Ottawa. The 18-mile route starts in Garnett and goes north to Richmond and back to Garnett for lunch. There is even a short family fun ride on the paved trail within Garnett.

The Friends of the Prairie Spirit Trail provide lunch. The cost is only $8, which includes the state trail fee. Since the trail is built upon a railway bed, the grades are very moderate. The trail surface is hard-packed limestone screenings in rural areas, and asphalt paving within the towns of Garnett and Ottawa.
