  • Overview
    Legacy Park, in Lee’s Summit, Mo., features 700 acres dedicated to sports and recreational uses. It features more than 10 miles of trails, with about seven miles being paved. In addition to the paved routes, a dirt-track mountain bike trail explores woodlands and the park’s pastoral beauty. A mowed path allows you to walk a loop around the 22-acre Legacy Lake. On the north side of the park, a highlight is a spectacular waterfall on the 1014 Loop (it can run low in the dry season). Other outdoor activities are centered on lake, which offers canoe, kayak and stand-up paddle board rentals as well as fishing.
