The Gary L. Haller Trail offers a delightful 15.0-mile (24.2 km) touring cycling experience, rated easy, with a gentle 352 feet (107 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 1 hour and 24 minutes. You'll pedal through dense wooded areas that feel more like mountains than Kansas, past stretches of prairie, and alongside Mill Creek, enjoying views of its clear waters. The paved asphalt surface is generally smooth, though some older sections might have bumps from tree roots.
Starting from Northwood Trails Access Park, you'll find convenient parking and amenities like restrooms, picnic areas, and drinking fountains. However, be aware that due to ongoing construction south of the Northgate trailhead, you can currently only travel north from Northwood Trails Access Park. This makes planning your route straightforward, as you'll be heading towards the Kansas River.
Designated a National Recreation Trail, the Gary L. Haller Trail is known for its excellent maintenance and scenic beauty. As you cycle north, keep an eye out for bald eagles and other waterfowl near the Kansas River, adding a unique wildlife spotting opportunity to your ride. The trail's continuous path, often utilizing underpasses, provides a smooth and uninterrupted cycling experience.
