What side of the state line? In Kansas. Most walking and biking paths ( trails ) follow beside a creek. The longest walking trail I know about starts at Olathe and ends up at the Kansas river. I think it's 38 miles one way with different parking stop all over the place. You can go to a bike shop and pick up a map with all the trails for free. I don't much about Missouri side. I hope this helps.

Scroll down to the third map.

Local libraries usually have detailed maps of the area,county maps are often available from your local Chamber of Commerce.

When my son was small I would take him wading on a small creek where he could catch grayfish and he had a ball with all the funny rock, shells and stuff. Good Luck.
