Route 66 Historic Byway

Parks, Nature, & Outdoor Adventures

Enjoy the beautiful parks, nature, and wildlife along Kansas' Historic Route 66 Byway. Multiple community parks in Galena are great places for the family. These include the City Park, Miners Park, Pappy Litch Park, Schermerhorn Park, and the Southeast Kansas Nature Center and Shoal Creek Wildlife Area. If you find yourself in Baxter Springs, stop by the Kiwanis Park, Ronald O. Thomas Dog Park, or newer Liberty Park. And, of course, there is the classic Old Route 66 Park in the city of Riverton. Make sure to check out the beauty these towns have to offer while you relax outdoors and stretch your legs.
