Stroller friendly nature trails around town?
As title implies, I'm looking for a trail I can take my kid on in her jogging stroller. Does anybody have a good suggestion?

The Rockefeller Prairie Trail (in Orange) is paved, has a bathroom, and at the end of the trail is an amazing overlook of Lawrence. It will also be beautiful when the foliage changes color.

The arboretum down by YSI. Also the bike trail that follows K-10 that has an entrance by the movie theater. Baker Wetlands maybe. Some of the Clinton Lake trails are paved, but some are still flooded or very muddy. There’s a pretty short one behind the hospital that goes by a pond. One end is by the baseball field right behind LMH.

Indian Creek trail, Mill Creek trail, walking around the lake at Heritage Park, trails within Shawnee Mission Park, Stoll park path around the park

Burcham Park. It’s all concrete sidewalks, right along the river

Unfortunately this is closed down at the moment. The flooding was not kind to the river walk.
I still walk it,but it is covered in mud in some places they haven't cleared yet, and one section of concrete needs repair. Also, officially closed.

Rock Chalk Park has paved trails and even the unpaved ones could be navigated with a jogging stroller.

Parks & Rec Trail Map spaces trails are marked in red!

I would say Prairie Park or the South Trafficway trail, except one has been under water and a woman was attacked on the trail at Prairie Park last year. Not that you shouldn't enjoy, just something to definitely be aware of as there are areas of both that are very isolated.

There is a wide paved trail at Mary's Lake / Prairie Park Nature Center.
