Hike Swope Park with a Naturalist

All scheduled hikes are open to the public. There is no fee. Hikes will be canceled in severe weather – call the center (816-513-8960) if you aren’t sure. Please dress appropriately for the weather of the day (i.e. raingear, layers of clothing for cold weather, sunscreen and hats for warm weather, insect repellent, closed-toed shoes or boots). We strongly recommend that you carry water with you on the hike. These hikes are not appropriate for children in strollers; you will step over rocks and logs and traverse hills and valleys. Children may hike or be carried.

The hike begins at 10:00 AM. Please gather inside the main doors of Lakeside Nature Center, 4701 E Gregory Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64132. There the naturalist will meet hikers, outline the plans for the day and then lead the group on the trail.

This year, all hikes are on Saturdays.
