Directions North and South From Richmond

Riding north from Princeton, there is a slight grade downwards towards Ottawa. Most of the way is canopied by trees, which provide much desired shade on hot days. The trail crosses five gravel roads between Princeton and Ottawa, with a variety of smoothness of transitions.

 

The trail between Princeton and Richmond is wooded on both ends with most of the central section being open prairie. The grade rises slightly towards Richmond. Leaving Princeton, you cross the first bridge on the trail as you head south (Middle Creek). Soon after, the woods give way. and if there is a wind, you will feel it. As you approach the crossing of Missouri Road, you will see a circular house off to the right with a deck all the way around it. Ahead is the distance you will soon spot the Beachner grain elevator. Once the trail becomes shady and surrounded by trees again, you are within a mile of the Richmond Trailhead.
