Clinton Trails

Description: Clinton Lake State Park is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park just to the west of the Lawrence City limits. Trails are maintained in coordination with the Kansas Trails Council and the LMBC. Although there are park fees for driving access, lake access and camping, the trail head for biking (see marked location at right) is in the "free" side of the park, northeast of the lake. There are many miles of well maintained trails for all skill levels. In general, the "white" trail is more difficult, while the "blue" trail is easier.

Directions: From Lawrence, head west on Clinton Parkway. At the end of Clinton Parkway, pass under the South Lawrence Trafficway, and turn right (north) at the T-intersection with Douglas County Road 920. Take the first entrance on your left (west) into the park. Follow the access road south towards the lake. The trail head is at the treeline at the end of the first parking lot on the right past the US Army Corp of Engineers Park building.
