Trailrunning at "WyCo" Park:
 
There is a bridle trail (loop) that circumnavigates the Park, and is about 8.85 miles long, but the Kansas City Trail Nerds have added some single-track trail to make the total loop mileage 10.35 miles. 
 
You can add some interesting out-and-back trail runs to this loop, as well.  The trail has some challenging hills, and if the surface is wet, challenging footing, also.  Two good places to park for trail access are at Shelter #2, or at Shelter #10.  Happy trails, and remember that everybody MUST YIELD TO HORSES!
