Osage Prairie Tour

The Osage Prairie Bicycle Tour is sponsored by the Parsons Police Officers Association, with the assistance of local volunteers, as a charity event to raise funds for local youth organizations.

Experience the sights and sounds of spring in farming country where the Prairie meets the Ozarks. You will witness the land coming to life with spring in full bloom. Deer and wild turkey are not uncommon sights along any of these routes, and new baby calves have been seen in the green pastures. You will not only ride along pasture and farm land and over rolling hills, but also along paved back roads and highways.

The 70 mile course will take you from Parsons through the towns of Altamont, Bartlett, Edna, Mound Valley, Dennis and back to Parsons. Riders on this course should be sure they can negotiate several hills as well as the distance.

The 40 mile course will take you from the city of Parsons to the towns of Altamont, Mound Valley, and Dennis before returning to Parsons.

The 15 mile course will travel around and through Parsons.
