357 Loop Trail

Wyandotte County Park is located west of Kansas City and is situated around a 400-acre lake that bears the same name. The park has 1,500 acres of wooded area, a kids’ fishing pond, a large playground, boat rentals, concessions, a bridle trail, an off-leash dog area, archery range, picnic shelters, and F.L. Schlagle Library and Environmental Center.  The park features paved and natural trails suitable for walking, running, and biking. The flat terrain makes it accessible for visitors of all fitness levels. 

Wyandotte County Park also has numerous hiking trails – most situated around Wyandotte County Lake. On our hike we followed the 375 Loop for 1.8 miles which winds along a ridge and down by the south side of the lake. It is a hike that winds mostly through a wooden forest and intersects with some picnic shelters at the ridgeline.  Most park facilities are free to use, though certain amenities like shelter rentals and the golf course may have associated fees.
