Restrooms at Pomona, Miller, Admire, and Bushong trailhead are now open.  Working water fountains are available at Bushong, Admire, and Miller during warmer months, but must be shut off when cold weather arrives.  Please always be aware of changing trail conditions due to weather such as cracks in the trail surface or obstacles such as fallen trees.

Trail Constuction and Section Closure: The section of the Flint Hills Trail between Vassar and South Lewelling Road in Osage County is closed until probably fall 2025 while the trail section is upgraded. Travel in this area will require a detour. The shortest bypass uses county roads and the Highway. Traffic is heavy on this highway and other county roads may be used for bypass. (Using 245th for East West travel and accessing the trail via South Croco and South Fairlawn is a longer route with slower traffic). Visitors should evaluate routes and use caution during road travel. Please monitor this page and the Kanza Rail Trail Conservancy Facebook for updates.
