The trails at Elk City State Park rank among the best in Kansas. This trail first winds through young timber, woody vegetation, grasses, and wildflowers and then reaches the top of a ridge, where you will find several table rocks that are great for sitting and enjoying the fabulous views. The western side of the loop is somewhat rugged as it climbs into the rocks and travels along the ridge. The scenery through the woods is very peaceful and beautiful as you make your way back to the trailhead.
