Confirmed from Indian Creek Trail'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.
Family-friendly open space featuring a splash park, playground and kid-friendly hiking trails.
What runners say about Indian Creek Trail
“Everything is very well kept and clean.”
“Great place to walk, run, bike, push a stroller, watch wildlife”
“I walked from state line (mile marker 0) to Olathe (mile marker 12).”
Long trails lots of places to stop and enjoy the river. Peacful, we love the nature and taking the electric bikes for a spin.
Great place to walk, run, or ride your bike. Play areas for kids. Tennis courts. Soccer fields. Baseball diamonds. Everything is very well kept and clean.
I can't express how much I love these trails, I ride a lot because these trails are amazing at keeping you safe from the traffic, going under bridges instead of crossing the streets. Everyone is so happy and friendly too. The trails are kept nice and it's pretty too. You can go on for miles and miles if you choose to.
One of the best running trails in the area. Plenty of foot traffic so it feels very safe a majority of the path and plenty to see along the way. Perfect for running or biking
