Trail pits ag center against recreational users
Land once part of Fort Hays Military Reservation sits at the center of a clash between outdoor enthusiasts who want trails opened along Big Creek and Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center at Hays officials who restrict access. Developer David Meckenstock leads a push to reopen the wooded trail, arguing historic documents support public access, while Coyne of the research center says the mission focuses on farming needs and safety, not recreation, and cautions against extending trails through research land. The dispute involves local politicians and community groups, with past collaborations on nearby Frontier Park and surrounding segments.
