Public and private partners have come together to develop a statewide rails to trails plan for Kansas. The purpose of this plan is to review of existing rails to trails, to identify the benefits of rails to trails, and to provide information on how local trail supporters can develop rails to trails in their own communities.
The plan will support development of a comprehensive trails system across Kansas that create economic and health benefits for the state’s residents. When completed, it will be a supporting document for the future statewide trail plan, scenic byways, and community trails plans.
This plan is not an end product of rails to trail development, but rather a tool for future trail development opportunities. |
