Located in the middle of Wichita is a trail that everyone should take. Now, not all scenic trails are accessible but there are some that exist in The Sunflower State. For an easy, accessible hike along a boardwalk with scenic views in Kansas, make your way to Chisolm M. Creek Park and take the lovely Chisolm Creek Trail.

Located in Wichita, Chisolm Creek Park is an oasis in the city. It was named for Jesse Chisolm (1805-1868), a Cherokee trader, merchant, guide, and interpreter who lived in the area at one point in his life.
