August 23, 2024 · Source: National Park Service
STRONG CITY, KS – The Bottomland Nature Trail, located two miles south of the preserve headquarters off K-177 and Road 227, will begin construction of a concrete wheelchair accessible trail surface, parking space, and pad in the parking lot. The Bottomland Nature Trail currently has five interpretive wayside exhibits, an information and trail map kiosk, benches, and a comfort station. Interpretive panels tell the story of the bottomland prairie and educate visitors about its historic use as well as the wildlife that make this riparian area their home. Upon completion of this project, the one-mile Bottomland Nature Trail and parking lot will be fully accessible, even during wet weather.
