SCENIC DRIVE

State Fishing Lake to Ashland Scenic Back Road

Near Minneola, KS | Clark County

This southern unpaved road from the lake to U.S. 160 at Ashland is one of the most breathtaking 'dare-to-do-dirt' adventures you can take in southwest Kansas. It's 16 miles of unending vistas, no oil pumps, no telephones poles, nor anything else to impede your view of rolling hills, craggy creek-bed valleys, and a panorama of pure blue sky above the undulating prairie earth.
