Johnson County Park and Recreation District - JCPRD- Activities catalog image



The Mill Creek Streamway Park
is a beautiful linear park with over 17 miles of pedestrian and bicycle trails, four miles of horseback riding trails and open spaces for leisure pursuits as jogging, picnicking and nature hiking available for public use.

The trail extends from Nelson Island on the Kansas River, south through the
Cities of Shawnee and Lenexa, and ending in the City of Olathe.

Gary L. Haller Trail Designated National Recreation Trail
In 2010 JCPRD's Gary L. Haller Trail in Mill Creek Streamway Park was named as a new National Recreation Trail (NRT). The local trail is the first to receive this designation in Johnson County and was among 31 trails totaling 716 miles in 15 states which were designated by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. The local trail has become a model for other communities in the region and become a regional tourist attraction. The Haller trail was the only new NRT designation this year in Kansas.
