As far as I know, it's public. I ran a questionable section for @caswanson between Cottonwood Falls and Teter Rock without any issues with the route. Depending on when you want to run it, I might be able to go.

So far you're the closest! You're actually in the extrem top left corner of the southeastern zone for Kansas. Basically, you're where the northeastern, southeastern and south central zones meet. Nice spot to be located - right in the middle of the main area of the State.
I'm trying to find people in the lower half of the south central area as well as the lower southwestern corner of the southeastern zone. I'd like to get some sort of local club started, so far nothing. You know, something along the lines of a group that gets out and does things, yet can easily get together for coffee or a beer. There are a couple OB members in my area but I haven't been able to establish contact with them.
However....you are definitely close enough for meeting up somewhere! Are you a member of the "Konza Overland" group that travels the Flint Hills area?

The original section hit a gated road. Chris remapped it and asked me to check it out since I live closer and know the area. It's confusing if you pay too much attention to the farmer paths off the main road. It's questionable from that perspective and the fact that neither of us knew if it was completely open. It is completely open and driveable.
At some point in life I'd like to join it. Just wish they had a website for posting events and such. A Konza Overland thread here even, like this one, would be nice.
I maintain the ownership mapping in Chase County for the Appraiser. I double checked with him to make sure the route was open to public traffic. -We're good! It would be pretty awesome to meet up sometime and get a good group to run the trail. Once we get to the south end, there are a ton of awesome areas to explore and great camping amenities.
However, March is a little early. I made the trip first weekend of May with a couple guys and it was perfect. Bugs we're minimal and the temperature was beautiful.

Wow.... we are still talking about the flint hills trail that you guys mapped out right?
What pro
What program are you using? I've tried to download and it doesn't open. I have two programs that open .kmz files, but it won't open. Can you take a screenshot and post it?
