No waterfall as desired, but a beautiful lake nonetheless.
I have lived in Kansas my whole life and am enamored with the beauty of the Flint Hills. Through my travels and work, I have heard it all. Kansas is flat. How boring. It’s all the same. That is SOOO not true. There are pockets of extreme beauty all around the state. And, I think the flowing grass in the plains is absolutely gorgeous. Plus, there are the most serene spots all over. The state of Kansas has done a fantastic job of creating lake parks throughout the state. In most (if not all) they have made a fishing lake for the residents to enjoy. I have a goal of bringing these lakes for all to see.
Here is a link to my shots of the Lyon County State Lake, from early in the summer: https://youtu.be/uzOH0ciqWw4
Yesterday, I made a trek to Chase County, near Cottonwood Falls. I have read and seen a couple of videos of a beautiful waterfall that feeds the Chase County lake. It’s a smaller lake, but it does allow camping, has a boat dock, and outlets into the water for fishing. It is located only a few miles outside of town and maybe 10 minutes off of Highway 50. VERY easy to get to. Google maps will say you have a lot of walking to get there, but that is not true. Here is a quick little video of the lake:
As you will see there is no footage of the waterfall. Remember, Kansas weather is tricky, and at this time, there was no water to feed the falls… Maybe next time.
Follow along as I create a tour of Kansas through the eyes of a drone.
