See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby. If you want to familiarize yourself with cowboy culture, visit the Boot Hills Museum in Dodge City, dine on all-you-can-eat barbeque and hear songs of the American Cowboy at Diamond W Chuckwagon Supper in Wichita or explore the Dickinson County Heritage Center in Abilene, which has dance halls, gaming rooms and 32 saloons.

We came to share some time with my brother and sister and their families. They have outside seating, where you can relax and enjoy beverages while watching the kids feed the pet carp and boats fueling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed the walking trail that circles the lake. The Rose Garden was especially nice. I understand that the tulips are lush, but we missed those. Nice

This is a beautiful area to visit. I love to go there at sunset. There is a wonderful tall waterfall there as well. Who would have thought, in Kansas but it is big and lovely. Only thing is, most years it does not run all the time. It is the overflow for the lake so the area needs to have had rain for it to be running. When it does it is beautiful.

We come here often and it's always nice, if you over look all the broken glass and barbwire. Really is better after a few inches of rain.
