Southwind Rail Trail

The Southwind Rail Trail is located in Allen County, Kansas, running between the communities of Iola and Humboldt, over a distance of about 6 miles. The trail features a crushed limestone surface, and several scenic points, including the magnificent Elm Creek railroad bridge.

The trail connects, in Iola, with the 51-mile Prairie Spirit Rail Trail State Park, making a total distance of about 57 miles (or much more, if you connect with the Flint Hills Nature Trail in Ottawa).
