Riverwalk - Veterans Memorial Park

February 1, 2025 Walking with Ashley and Bronco February 1, 2025 Ashley, Bronco, and I woke up early, finished packing up the Jeep and headed out to Wichita, Kansas. First stop was Loves Travel Stop in Burlington Colorado for Bronco to run around the dog park, our second stop was Taco Shop for lunch in Hays, Kansas! Then made it to The Keeper of the Plains Riverwalk in Wichita Kansas and called it a day! February 1, 2025 Ashley, Bronco, and I made it to Wichita Kansas around 430pm Central Time and took a little walk along the Riverwalk and The Keeper of the Plains spiritual site! February 1, 2025 Ashley, Bronco, and I walked to the Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Wichita near the Riverwalk. From here we went to our hotel, then headed out for dinner!

This Riverwalk had the potential to be a great leisure spot. However, the presence of goose droppings, scattered trash and occasional tents set up along the way made the walk unpleasant and left me feeling unsafe.

A beautiful area along the river that is easy to walk and such a cool tribute to our military members that were lost to this world.

Disappointing. Walked north on the western side of the river for the shade. The good - nice shade on a warm day, paved and enjoyed the park around the Keeper of the Plains. Not so good - once you leave the immediate park area, less maintained, trash everywhere and tents in the woods. Would not be comfortable doing it alone as we saw very few people in the 2.5 miles. Come on Wichita! You can do better than this. Travel full time and this trail is near the bottom for us.

This place is beautiful! I highly recommend it. I took my dog and had a good time just walking the pathway along the water.
