Shawnee Mission Park Trailrunning Info:
There are approximately 20 miles of non-paved trails & roads in and attached to Shawnee Mission Park.  Trail Access points are listed below, but they can also be accessed at Shelter #8, Shelter #10, and other areas.  Happy trails, and remember that runners should step off-trail for mountain bikers, and MUST YIELD TO HORSES!
 
A local trail advocacy group, ERTA, has spent a lot of time building and maintaining these trails. Please be kind to the trails and park. 

Here's a MAP of the most recently improved section of trails, north of the lake.
