Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy the two trails in Harry S Truman State Park designated for hiking only.
On Western Wallflower Glade Trail hikers will experience firsthand the glade and savanna habitat that is being preserved in its pre-settlement conditions. It is one of the best places in the park to view widely spaced oaks that still shade a mantle of prairie grasses and wildflowers. Western Wallflower Glade Trail is 0.25 miles long.
Bluff Ridge Trail traverses forests and glades and passes near a bluff that overlooks Truman Lake. The north-facing slope on the first part of the trail, with its richer, moister soil, contains many large red oaks with a smaller understory of sugar maples. This trail is divided into two sections with distances of either 2 miles or 1 mile.
