Best weekend getaways in Kansas
For a landlocked state, Kansas still has a great deal to interest tourists who enjoy water sports or who just want to enjoy a view of rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. There are dozens of waterfalls on the rivers and creeks south and west of Kansas City, while many of the state's lakes and reservoirs offer visitors the chance to take a swim or hire a boat for the day. Falls River Lake State Park is particularly popular with kayakers and hikers who want to take the opportunity to get away from it all in rural Kansas.
