Confirmed from Meadowlark Trail North Trailhead'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Beautiful Trail excellent condition but at 4 MI a large barricade with no trespassing.”

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“We love riding our bikes here, especially during the summer when the trees shade you from the sun.”

Nice easy flat trail. Usually just go 2 miles in and back. That portion is well shaded and somewhat scenic. Much better than the first couple miles of the south end of the trail. Only downside is no good close parking. We parked at the swimming pool which is a fair ways from the trail head.

★★★★☆ — Joe , Oct 2023

We enjoy visiting this wonderful trail. Each season has its unique features.

★★★★★ — Louis , Sep 2023

We found this Trail in the town of Lindsborg. We thought we would ride our bike to McPherson. We got several miles down the trail. But the trail just ended. A beautiful but hot trail in July.

★★★★☆ — Relax , Jul 2024

Reached via Valkommen trail. A beautiful canopy of trees forms a tunnel of greenery. A great way to spend some time in nature, or even to get your steps in for the day.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
