The Kansas Trails Council began informally in 1974 when a group of trail enthusiasts joined together to build multi-use, natural surface, public trails near several Kansas lakes.
In 1984, the KTC officially became a non-profit 501c3 corporation dedicated to promoting the development and enjoyment of Kansas trails.
The KTC’s primary purposes are to:
- develop and maintain multi-use, natural surface, public trails
- provide resources to trail developers and trail stewards
- provide information about all types of trails
- teach trail building methods
- educate trail stewards and trail users.
Over the years, the KTC has worked with the Army Corps of Engineers, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and many cities, counties and non-profit organizations to develop or maintain public trails across Kansas.
