There are currently over 250 miles of completed rail-trails in Kansas, with over twice that number in planning and development. This is a 2023 version of the Kansas Rails-to-Trails Map that was originally included with the Kansas Statewide Rail-Trails Plan 2013. The map was updated by KDOT cartographer Elaine Bryant, in consultation with the Sunflower Rail-Trails Conservancy. It is also available as a PDF: Kansas Rails-to-Trails Map 2023.
