The terrain is generally level and flat (less than 5 percent grade). There are some steep grades for short sections including:

• The route south of the creek between Nall and Lamar
• Near 105th and Conser
• Along I-435, west of Antioch
• Other sections where the trail approaches streets or bridges.

The Bike and Hike Trail is wheelchair accessible and all trail heads have accessible parking and access to the trail.
