Welcome to our trail.

Winding north from Marysville, Kansas lies a retired railroad bed splitting the Big Blue River on the west and bordered on the east by limestone outcroppings, grass covered bluffs, and open farm fields.

 

Come and enjoy a quiet run, a leisurely walk with a friend  or family time as you ride down the trail on your bikes and search for wildlife in this natural playground.  The crushed limestone on the trail provides a smooth surface for walking, jogging, biking and cross country skiing.  An abundance of wildlife, plant life and bird species live along the trail and promise to make your visit a truly memorable experience.

The Blue River Rail Trail stretches about thirteen miles from Marysville to the Nebraska border and encompasses 120 acres.  The corridor passes through a diversity of habitats, including upland areas of mixed shrubs and grasslands following watershed ridges, low flood plain and stream crossings, timber, pastures, and adjoining cropland.  An abundance of wildlife, plant life, and bird species live along the trail and promise to make this hike or bike ride a truly memorable experience.
