POST ROCK Scenic Byway
Explore Nature’s Roller Coaster, winding through fields, pastures, and the beautiful prairies of Kansas! Named for the unique native limestone rocks used for fenceposts in the area, this byway offers dramatic limestone outcroppings along K-232, the rugged Dakota sandstone bluffs at Lake Wilson, and long post rock fence rows, anchored between Lucas and Wilson. The Post Rock Scenic Byway is an eighteen-mile route that extends north and south on K-232 through the Smoky Hills of Ellsworth, Lincoln and Russell Counties in north central Kansas. The two-lane asphalt road connects I-70 on the south with K-18 on the north and links the communities of Wilson (Ellsworth County) and Lucas (Russell County). A six-mile segment of the byway is adjacent to the Wilson Lake recreational area with scenic turnouts that overlook the dam and offer vistas of the lake and the valley below the dam. Rest areas, trails, picnic areas and campgrounds offer a variety of recreational opportunities. kansasbyways.org
