The S. Lawrence Trafficway Trail loosely follows the S. Lawrence Trafficway—also known as State Route 10—on the outskirts of the city of Lawrence. The trail passes by new residential developments, parks, farmland and wetland over its nearly 12-mile length. A portion of the trail winds through the Clinton Lake emergency spillway, a deep gorge cut into the rolling landscape.
The trail also connects to the 6th Street Path and Clinton Parkway Trail at intersections with the busy roads.
This trail is a key segment of the of the developing 22-mile Lawrence Loop around the city.
Dedicated parking for the S. Lawrence Trafficway Trail is available at the northern trailhead on N. 1750 Road. Trail users can also park at the Baker University Wetlands on the southern end of the trail 1365 N 1250 Rd, Lawrence. The wetlands comprise of 927 acres of preserved land in south Lawrence.
Rides by Clinton lake, we're you can take a detour and Baker wetlands. Railtrail connects with downtown and several breweries.
My husband and I rode on the majority of this trail on a hot July day. It is a wide concrete trail that runs past residential and open space areas. There are lake views and other smaller bodies of water to see along with wildlife. Although there are good signs along the route, some painted markings on the pavement would be helpful to keep from getting off the trail.
