The Meadowlark Trail is now officially open! The rail-trail passes through gentle hills and creek valleys in the 12.6 miles between Lindsborg and McPherson on the old Union Pacific Railroad railbed. It crosses eleven bridges and, at one point, follows the east bank of the Smoky Hill River. The trail travels through beautiful country – geologically rich area with several different types of soil and an abundance of wildlife. It’s a rails-to-trails route with beautiful fields and tree canopies along the way. It crosses an old rail flatcar which serves as a bridge. In the North, the trail begins at the southern endpoint of the paved 4.75 Valkommen Trail in Lindsborg (Little Sweden USA) at the Old Mill Campground and the southern endpoint is at 1300 Moccasin Rd. in McPherson near Hess Park.
