Kansas River Water Trail Dedicated
The Kansas River Water Trail was officially signed into
the National Water Trail system by Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar on
Saturday, July 14, 2012 in front of the Flint Hills Discovery Center in
Manhattan, Kansas.
The Friends of the Kaw and Kansas Riverkeeper worked hard
to help realize their goal to make the Kaw a 170 mile linear park. The Kansas River was the latest to be
included in the National Water Trails System that was unveiled by Interior
Secretary Salazar in February of 2012. This event may help focus attention on
the Kaw that has been included in the top ten list of America’s most endangered
rivers by the American Rivers organization. To read comments by Jessie
