Loop Trails (No Backtracking) in Kansas

Kansas has 25 trails with a loop route in this directory, across 17 cities and towns — Lawrence, Manhattan, Olathe, Topeka and 13 more. Start and finish at the same trailhead: a known distance, no backtracking and no car shuttle.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
