Starkys Bomb - Kansas Rocks Recreation Park

Starkys Bomb, trail number 97 within Kansas Rocks Recreational Park, is a rocky and rough trail leading from the main loop to the ridgeline above Buckeye Boonies. The trail starts at intersection "B" and quickly climbs up the western side of the ridge, snaking its way through dense maple and ash trees before ending atop the ridge intersecting with trail 104. The terrain along the way is extremely rocky, with consistent volleyball-sized limestone rocks protruding out of the hard-packed soil. The trail can be run in either direction but is generally only one vehicle with a few areas to pull out of the way for oncoming traffic. This is a great beginner trail and suitable for any high clearance 4x4 vehicle.

Kansas Rocks Recreation Park is open on weekends, with varying hours depending on the day and the time of year. Annual passes can be purchased online, while day passes must be purchased at the time of visit.

Camping is not permitted on the trails, but camping is permitted near the office with 24 primitive camping sites, 24 RV slots, and cabin rentals. You can make reservations directly online. Amenities include fully plumbed bathrooms, a shower house, fire pits, covered pavilions, picnic tables, and electricity in the RV area.
