Four Historic Trail Features Near Ottawa Described
The Old Depot Museum in Ottawa serves as a trailhead for the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail and the Flint Hills Nature Trail and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places with exhibits on Bleeding Kansas and John Brown. The Marais des Cygnes River runs along the trail with bluffs between Ottawa and Osawatomie, once called the Marsh of the Swans by French explorers. Red Oak Bluff lies about two miles southeast of Rantoul above the river and trail, and the Fort Scott California Trail Crossing intersects the Flint Hills Nature Trail east of Ottawa.
