Shady Bend Recreation Area

Osborne, KS | Osborne County

From N. 1st, 1 ¼ miles west on Main (becomes W. 90). At the road's end you'll find the Shady Bend Walking/Biking Trail along the banks of the South Fork Solomon River and the 1936 Osborne Dam. Unfortunately you can't go inside the limestone scout cabin built by the WPA in 1938.
