Northeastern Kansas Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

It was our 2016 Bucket List trip to the west coast and the southwestern United States. I've decided to post (for the first time) some photo's from that trip. Marysville, Kansas was a wonderful small town America type place with a lot of old architecture. This place definitely caught my eye with it's bright colors and beautiful tile roof. #Pepsi #tile #corner #building #station #colorful #bluesky #travel #roadtrip #America #urbex #Kansas
Black Hoof Park. The 160-acre park with a 35-acre, deep-water Lake Lenexa, the park is scenic and perfect for a variety of interests - with trails for walking, hiking, or biking, a nice playground, and the centerpiece of the park - the 35-acre Lake Lenexa with a boat launch and fishing dock - this park brings nature to the suburbs. The park is also home to a wide variety of wildlife including deer, coyotes, red foxes, birds, butterflies, rattlesnakes, frogs and lizards.

The Deep Creek school house sits along Deep Creek Rd. Between its junction with I-70 and KS177. The drive through this Flint Hills valley is just beautiful. Take a moment to stop and read the signs around the school house, which stands as a memorial to many.
