Kid Walk 2 - 18th Street and Graham Avenue --> Arkansas River

     Kid Walk #2 is going to take you down a nice trail. You can leave your car on a side street off of 18th street close to the bridge over the railroad tracks. You'll start your adventure at 18th Street and Graham Avenue.

      You will see a concrete path leading parallel to Graham Avenue south of 18th Street. This is your trail. It will take you and the kiddos through a very nice park complete with lots of grass, basketball hoops, a pavilion with tables and a playground. Stop to let the little ones play for a while before continuing down the trail under the railroad bridge.

     It is a very nice walk next to the signature Arkansas River trees and grasses. Shortly, you will find yourself at a nice bridge crossing the Arkansas River. Our son likes to run back and forth across the bridge for a few minutes before we keep walking. At this junction, you can choose two directions: upriver towards the nature center or downriver towards the Riverwalk. It's a few miles to the Riverwalk, but it is worth the trip on a nice day. You can also just enjoy walking beside the river, looking for fish or even fishing!
