Three-Mile Creek Walking Trail

The Three-Mile Creek Walking Trail was installed by the City of Leavenworth in 2009 as a premier paved walking and biking half-mile trail. It is so named for Three Mile Creek.

In 1827, when Col. Henry Leavenworth and his Dragoons first built Fort Leavenworth, they began measuring miles from the point where Fort Leavenworth's flag is now found at the Main Parade Field. Several of our local creeks are named for their distance from the Fort Leavenworth flag and not their lengths: One-Mile Creek on post, Three-Mile Creek in Leavenworth and Five-Mile Creek in Leavenworth and Lansing. 

At times of high water, this trail will have sections closed due to flooding. 

The two trailheads are at Seventh and Cherokee Streets near Haymarket Square and at Leavenworth Landing Park. This trail joins with the trail at Leavenworth Landing Park where Three-Mile Creek joins with the Missouri River.
