HIKING: Fancy Creek

← KS KANSAS RIVER BELVUE KS Triple Blaze →

Description

Fancy Creek features 5 miles of hiking trails near Manhattan, KS.

Directions

From Manhattan take Hwy 24 (aka Tuttle Creek Blvd.) north out of town for several miles. Hwy. 24 will branch off to the west after a ways and turn into Hwy. 77 which continues north, follow Hwy. 77. Immediately after passing the small town of Randolph on the right turn right (east) onto Hwy. 16. The park is approximately 2 miles to the east. The entrance is on the left side of the street IMMEDIATELY before the bridge that crosses over Tuttle Creek Reservoir (eg: the park is on the west side of the lake not on the east). If you go over the bridge you've gone too far. The trailhead is on the right side of the park entrance road just past a "pay station" on the left and down an unassuming dirt road w/ the sign "trailhead"... At the time of this entry it costs $4.50 for a day use parking permit. To avoid this, park in Randolph and bike up to the trailhead (only 1.5+ mostly flat miles at most)...
