Konza Prairie

A divine, majestic beauty, this parcel of land on the Great Plains of Kansas. The Konza Prairie remains an unrefined relic of a long-ago era, an era that saw prairie inhabitants coexist upon actively-trodden stagecoach trails. Civilization? Rare. Daily life an unrequited battle versus nature.

Plot your escape

Now, escape to these long-ago eras. The pathway trodden out, just 8 miles south of Manhattan (McDowell Creek Road). Here, Konza Prairie land whisks visitors from brisk highways to low-traffic roads and dirt trails. Hello World. Meet the Konza Prairie.

Konza Trails

Hikers escape the daily grind and tackle the isolation of nature within 2.6, 4.6 and 6.2-mile trails; plant wildlife and native species the prevalent forces. Konza Prairie Biological Station exists a short distance from these trails, within an 8,600-acre preserve run by The Nature Conservancy and K-State. Self-guided nature trails open daily to the public, sunrise to sunset (group tours and activities by special arrangement). Please, observe posted trail rules.
