The Konza Prairie is owned by The Nature Conservancy and managed by Kansas State University. Although most of the area is closed to the public, there is a 6 mile loop in the north part of the area that is open to the public. There are no fees to access this trail. The trail is open year around. Bring water as there is none on-site.
While on the trail, you may find wildlife such as deer, rabbits and wild turkey. For all you nature buff runners, check out the Konza Prairie website for details on what flora and fauna you may encounter on your run!:
