There are not a lot of Kansas covered bridges still hanging around, especially when many of the best ones have fallen over the years or have been removed. With that in mind, we’re going to enjoy the few we have, especially in the beautiful fall month that Kansas lets us enjoy. Come see these covered bridges surrounded by great views!
- Sedgwick County Park - Wichita

Michael Harris/Google Sedgwick County Park is an often overlooked area of Kansas that has plenty of space for kite flying as well as other activities. Their little covered bridge looks great in the fall months, and is perfect for a stroll through the cool air.
- Lake Shawnee - Topeka

- Prairie Sunset Trail - Goddard

- Sedgwick County Zoo - Wichita

If you find it more fun to enjoy the longest hiking trail instead of many different areas, check out some of the best historic stops.
