Explore 15 miles of trails at KC North’s McHenry Park
At Kansas City North’s McHenry Park, 15 miles of trails wind through a former quarry and farmland in the shadow of KCI Airport. Except for the sounds of occasional aircraft, the area has a remote vibe. As hikers burrow deep into this 800-acre park, they’ll find themselves enveloped in dense forest, broken by occasional prairies. A series of well-marked interconnected loops allow you to customize your own hike.
Forested hills, marshland and meadows comprise this more than 2,000-acre reserve.
Trail Mark L. McHenry Park trails
Overview
Mark L. McHenry Park, previously known as Tiffany Springs Park, provides more than 800 acres of recreational space near KCI Airport. Although the west side of the park is a team sports area, the majority of McHenry is forested and undeveloped. This is an area reclaimed from agricultural and industrial use. Remnants of quarries can be seen and have been repurposed as ponds. Apart from the sound of planes overhead, this park is a quiet respite in the busy suburbs of Kansas City’s Northland. The area is characterized by forest interrupted by occasional meadows, dissected by Hayes Creek and Brush Creek. Hikers, bikers and equestrians will all find available trails.
Length
There are four trails totaling about 15 miles. These interconnecting loops allow you to customize how far you want to walk and easily change course. The trails are: Brush Creek Loop, Ridge Ride Trail, Hampton Lane Trail and Matt Quary Trail.
Address
Trailheads start from the parking lot at the intersection of N. Childress Avenue and N.W. Old Tiffany Springs Road, Kansas City, Mo. 64153. If the gate to the parking lot is locked, you can park on the roadside. Trailheads can easily be missed: They’re located at the confluence of N. Childress and Old Tiffany Springs Road, as shown below. (There are additional trailheads accessible in the parking lot.)
Conditions Hike and bike trails are well marked and cleared. The equestrian trails are not maintained to the same standard, but are still accessible for hikers. Elevation changes are minor to moderate.
Kid friendly? These are relatively easy trails but would be prohibitive for strollers.
How busy? These trails are lightly to moderately trafficked.
Pets Yes, on a leash (unless otherwise designated).

Forested hills, marshland and meadows comprise this more than 2,000-acre reserve.
Trail Bluffwoods Conservation Area
Overview
Bluffwoods Conservation Area is actually not in Platte County, but we list it here because it’s only 15 minutes across the county line in Buchanan County. And it’s worth the drive! Bluffwoods comprises more than 2,000 acres of Loess Hills rising above the Missouri River Valley. This heavily wooded area includes some of the last remaining oak-hickory forest in northwest Missouri. Wildflowers and wildlife can also be discovered in this remote area, which is between St. Joseph and Weston, Mo. In addition to forest, the area includes marshes, retired crop and pasturelands and a few natural prairies. Bluffs rise 250 feet above the river, which lies about a half mile to the west. Bird watchers will find this area interesting as it is designated by an Important Bird Area by the Audubon Society. Since this is a Missouri Conservation Area, be mindful of hunting seasons and take appropriate precautions.
Length
The paved Forest Nature Trail is a series of loops totaling 1.2 miles. The Maple Falls and Lone Pine trails connect and total about 3 miles (all trails are not equal, so see the “conditions” section below). In addition, there are several miles of mowed service roads open to hikers.
Address
There are two major trailheads along with multiple other access points to the area. There’s weak cell service here, so if you use a map app to find Bluffwoods Conservation Area, there’s no telling which end of the refuge you’ll end up at. To help you get where you want to go, use these directions:
The Forest Nature Trail is located at 3393-4111 SW Bethel Rd, St Joseph, MO 64504. This is the paved trail.
The Maple Falls and Lone Pine Trailhead is located at the intersection of Henman Road and County Road 60 SW, next to Kerlin Cemetery. These are unpaved trails.
Conditions
The Forest Nature Trail is paved, easy and in excellent condition.
The Maple Falls Trail (Loop A) and Lone Pine Trail (Loop B) are natural surface trails with several hundred feed of elevation gain. They could be characterized as moderate in difficulty. Note: They are slippery when wet. Tracking polls are recommended. While Loop A is generally easy to follow, Loop B disappears into the forest, leaving you to bushwhack your way back to the trailhead. For this reason, Loop B is not recommended by KC Hiker.
The park also includes service roads, which can be walked. Download the map below to view all trails and service roads.
Kid friendly? The paved trail is easy with only minor elevation changes. The area’s other trails are natural surface and/or mowed. Topography can be steep.
How busy? The paved trail receives moderate traffic in peak season. The natural surface trails are less frequented..
Pets Yes, on a leash (unless otherwise designated).
Bikes Non-motorized bicycles are permitted on designated service roads [more here].
Hike rolling plains and marshlands at Kendzora Conservation Area
Kendzora Conservation Area is an outpost of northern Missouri beauty. The natural surface, grassy loop around the area is comprised of rolling hills with glimpses of distant horizons. The 35-acre Kendzora Lake and adjacent 120 acres of marshland provide a prime habitat for waterfowl and migratory birds.
Kendzora Conservation Area, Platte County, Mo.
Nearly 900 acres are divided between upland prairie, forest groves and bottomland marshes.
Trail Anthony and Beatrice Kendzora Conservation Area
Overview
Kendzora Conservation Area is an outpost of northern Missouri beauty. The natural surface, grassy loop around the area is comprised of rolling hills with glimpses of distant horizons. The 35-acre Kendzora Lake and adjacent 120 acres of marshland provide a prime habitat for waterfowl and migratory birds. The area has been designated as part of the Great Missouri Birding Trail system. In addition to wildlife, wildflowers explode throughout the preserve. The Platte River runs through the western reaches of the refuge.
Length The Kendzora Loop, on the northern side of the area, is a 3.8-mile mowed service road. In addition, there is an “unofficial” 2-mile trail that follows levies through the bottomland area on the reserve’s south side.
Address and location Missouri Conservation areas can lead to confusion when input into map apps. That’s because there are rarely offices or singular entrances. The trailhead for the Kendzora Loop is located on the north side of Union Mill Road near Edgerton, Mo. The official address is Kendzora Conservation Area, Edgerton, MO 64444. However, that may not get you to the trailhead. To arrive there, use the department’s trail map and navigate accordingly.
Conditions The Kendzora Loop is mowed, hilly terrain. There are few markers but it’s generally easy to navigate. The Great Birding Trail is less developed. Use caution or avoid this area during peak hunting seasons.
Kid friendly? These trails are for only the sturdiest of children.

Missouri’s Lewis and Clark State Park
Trails at Little Bean Marsh Conservation Area and Lewis and Clark State Park navigate oxbow lakes, bottomland forest and marshlands near the Missouri River.
Trail Little Bean Marsh Conservation Area and Lewis and Clark State Park.
Overview
Little Bean Marsh Conservation Area and Lewis and Clark State Park are two distinct entities, but they are only five miles apart. The marsh is in northern Platte County while the park is in southern Buchanan County. Both allow exploration of remnants of the formerly wild bottomlands of the Missouri River. Since neither has long trails, they can easily be combined on one outing, allowing a fuller exploration of this unique habitat. Both areas are centered on oxbow lakes, which are formed when the river changes course but leaves behind a body of water. Bean Lake is intermittently full, depending on precipitation. However, Gosling Lake, in Lewis and Clark State Park, is 365 acres in size and is a fishing attraction. Both areas are connected to the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804. This biome can be characterized as dense forest, interspersed by marshes. It’s a magnet for wildlife and wildflowers, including native species of iris in season. The area is best avoided in hot weather because dense vegetation and low elevation make it quite humid. In addition to the lowlands, the Loess Hills immediately west of both parks are an underappreciated scenic area that can be explored via rural roads in the area.
Length The Lewis and Clark Gosling Lake Trail is 1.3 miles. The Little Bean Marsh Trail is about 1 mile in length.
Address and location
Little Bean Marsh Conservation Area is 4 miles north of Iatan, Mo., on Highway 273. A Google Map is below. Don’t turn east off the highway until you reach Westside Drive. Although there is a sign pointing you to Little Bean Marsh, it does not take you to the trailhead.
Lewis and Clark State Park is 801 Lakecrest Blvd., Rushville, MO 64484.
Conditions Both trails are flat. The Little Bean Marsh Trail is paved, but rough in a few places. The Gosling Lake Trail at Lewis and Clark State Park is gravel.
Kid friendly? These are low-traffic trails with no hills. The paved Bean Marsh trail can accommodate strollers. The gravel trail at Lewis and Clark State Park is not stroller-friendly.

Trail Interurban & Linear Trails
Overview
The Interurban and Linear trails traverse a scenic section of urban Platte County. It’s busy but still beautiful. The trailhead is in a park-like setting in Riverside. From there, the trail cuts through a neighborhood before switching to a sidewalk along N.W. Platte Road (see our map). You could turn around at the end, but what’s the fun in that? We have mapped a loop that takes you through Charles A. Garney Park, then through a neighborhood on a bluff before returning you to the trailhead.
Length About 2 miles
Address and location The trailhead is an extra-large cul-de-sac where you can park on the street. Take Vivian Road, then turn south on N.W. St. Joe Boulevard to reach the trailhead parking.
Conditions This is a paved trail, for the most part. More than half of it doubles as a sidewalk. There are very few markers, so you’re best using the map on this page or navigating with a map app. Most of the route is moderately hilly, with one steep hill (on a sidewalk).
Kid friendly? The paved trail is a hilly walk on a hard surface. There is busy motorist traffic along the route, so children will need to be shepherded away from streetsides. Kids will enjoy the lake, waterfall and fountains along the route, but parents should be mindful of water safety.
How busy? This is a moderately-trafficked trail in a somewhat congested area.
Pets Yes, on a leash (unless otherwise designated).
