The Pioneer Nature Trail is located at the Council Grove Lake and was designated as a National Recreation Trail in 2009. This 1.25 mile long hiking trail consists of two loops. The first trail loop is ¾ mile long. The second trail loop “Buffalo Wallow Loop” is ½ mile long, and is home to one of the older geocaches in Kansas. Both loops offer abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. The trail is open to walkers and is largely grass covered with a width of six feet on average. Accessibility information is available at trailhead signs. Visitors may use the trail anytime between sunrise and sunset.

This trailhead waymark is at the sign pictured. Stone pillars guide you from the trailhead / parking lot down to the trees, where the actual trails begin.
