The Meadowlark Trail is a 13-mile rail-trail conversion connecting the towns of Lindsborg and McPherson, in central Kansas. The trail curves through pastures, farmland, gently rolling hills and creek valleys, following a portion of the Smoky Hill River, and crossing 11 bridges. It will connect with Lindsborg's ValkommenTrail just south of Lindsborg near the Old Mill Museum.
Currently, about one mile of the trail, known as the "Sunset Walk", is open in McPherson. The remainder of the trail is planned to be developed in three phases:
- Phase I - McPherson trailhead to Pawnee Road (4 miles)
- Phase II - Lindsborg trailhead to Shawnee Road (3 miles)
- Phase III - Pawnee Road to Shawnee Road (5 miles)
The Meadowlark Trail is being developed and maintained by the Central Kansas Conservancy.
