I really like this place. It's a good place to go walking. The only bad part is the people who think that the exercise area is a place to hold parties.. 12 oz of us have to go somewhere else to exercise.

The trails around Cedar Crest are a rare gem in Kansas. Set on the banks of the Kansas River (Kaw River to the old timers) you will enjoy forested trails with great elevation(for Kansas) and an array of fuzzy woodland critters.
