Confirmed from Craig Crossing Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed space featuring duck-dotted pond for fishing, as well as hiking trails and a bike rental shop.
What runners say about Craig Crossing Park
“If you want to add a little climb to your hike, visit the scenic overlook, built by the Rotary Club of Lenexa.”
“It is generally quiet and shady on the path.”
This spot is paved. It is flat and easy for walking or biking. It is generally quiet and shady on the path. The pond has ducks and geese. The views of Mill Creek are lovely.
Lovely little park along the Millcreek streamway trail. The pond is so peaceful.
This nice little city park connects to the Johnson County trails, which means it seems much more than its 16 acres would imply. The park itself has a shelter for about 30 people, which can be reserved, though alcohol permits are not available.
Love the walking trails here, they are nice and even. Good pavement. Bathrooms are clean. Lots of walkers and bikers. Feel 100% safe on this trail.
