LAKE

Lake Inman

Inman, KS | McPherson County

It's the largest natural lake in the state'a half-mile-wide circular sinkhole. In the late 1860s when Major Henry Inman made the trek on the Fort Harker Trail from present Kanopolis to Wichita he camped at this body of water. Because in his reports he often referred to the lake, it became known as Lake Inman.
