Added by Kurt Zoglmann

There are few waterfalls in Kansas. This waterfall is peaceful and easily accessible.

This waterfall is frequently flowing. It was created by a defunct mill dam on Turkey Creek. It is located in Brown Memorial Park just outside of Abilene, Kansas.

Take Highway 15 south from Abilene, over the Smoky Hill River. Turn east (left) on 2000 Avenue, than south a few hundred yards on Hawk Road to 1935 Lane. Turn east (left) again onto 1935 Lane, which crosses Turkey Creek just above the falls.

You can tell it's the place Boy Scouts go when they're angsty teens with a can of spray paint. For that I find it endearing in the nostalgic, country rural girl at heart. But maybe not worth turning off the interstate for. Once you pass the bridge in the park it's the circle lot on the left hand side.

Both offer unique and interesting vantage points.There are no signs or directions to this waterfall. To get to Geary Lake Falls from I-70 in Junction City, take Highway 77 and drive 6 miles south.

Konza Prairie Nature Trail

The Konza Prairie Nature Trail is a special beloved attraction in the area. It is set on 3,487 hectare of native tallgrass prairie. The trail offers a choice of 3 loops: The Nature Trail Loop at 2.8 miles, The Kings Creek Loop at 4.6 miles, and the Godwin Hill Loop at 6.1 miles. All trails start from the same trailhead. The longer trails are extensions of the shorter trails. So you have a few o...

Konza Prarie-Kings Creek Loop

Starting at the trailhead, this very well-maintained trail is an easy, 4.6 mile loop. This is the second of 3 loops from the trailhead. The longest one is just over 6 miles and connects the Konza Prairie Loop with the Kings Creek Loop and the Goodwin Hill Loop. Don't want the full 6 miler, but are looking for a little more than the shortest loop? As you're heading down the Konza Prarie-Kings Cr...

Konza Godwin Hill Loop

Kansas is somewhat known for its relatively flat land with nearly identical scenery across the entire state. One place where that differs is the Konza Prairie, a part of the larger Flint Hills. Totaling 6.1 miles this trail offers a variety of scenery from start to finish. Parking right before the Prairie Biological Station, the trailhead is clearly marked for all to see. Here you have the op...

Watch the Sunrise at Tuttle Creek Lake

This cove at Tuttle Creek Lake is not in an official park, but it is open to the public. It is a place I have come to again and again. Be here an hour before sunrise on a partly cloudy morning and watch as nature puts forth its finest firework show. Don't be late and don't leave too early. Golden hour near sunset isn't too bad either.Because this lake is primarily for flood control, the lake le...
