If you settle down in Topeka, you should take full advantage of all the outdoor spaces available at your fingertips. Grab your camera and make new memories along old, abandoned railroad trails. Need more reasons to head outside? You should either visit the only urban park in the state, the Kaw River State Park.

And if you’re wondering how to even get there, we’re happy to announce that Topeka boasts the first bike-share program in Kansas. Hop on one of 200 bikes and explore the city from corner to corner.
