Lexington Lake Park — Attraction in Kansas

This park in De Soto, KS is great. I came here for the trails. I did the Rose Loop (1.9 Miles) and the Indigo Loop (2.7 Miles). In total there is 4 main trails that are located in the wooded section to the north of the lake and there is also a paved walking trail that encircles the lake itself. The rose loop was short and sweet, very easy and anybody could do it.

They did a great job with creating the trails and on each trail you can find trail markers and maps letting you know where you are, how much you’ve completed and the mileage of each trail.

I included a photo of the sign with their number on it for...

The rose loop is a good...

A very nice park/lake.....well done like most of the JOCO lakes, it's well manicured and has beautiful pathways and facilities. Slightly disappointed with the playground, which would be fine for older kids. But as a mostly rope based area, it's definitely not for younger children. Also, the top of the "bridge" on the playground has quite a drop, again, be watchful of younger (read: 6 years old or...
