The Chautauqua Hills Trail is located on the north side of Toronto Lake in a rugged and wooded area. You will begin by crossing a pedestrian bridge over an inlet of the lake then pass through scenic woodlands, over and around large sandstone outcroppings, and tallgrass prairie that often towers several feet overhead. One unique section of the trail travels through prairie, skirting the edge of the woods and parallels a ridge with enormous sandstone boulders. The trail is well-maintained and is rated by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks as moderately difficult.
