Kansas Wetlands Education Center

Enjoy the view! This site is probably the best place to take in the Cheyenne Bottoms basin.
Located on the north rim of Cheyenne Bottoms, you can follow the ridgeline that forms the bowl-shaped, 41,000 acre wetland.  With binoculars, this is a great place to look for endangered Whooping Cranes during their spring and fall stops at Cheyenne Bottoms.  You can even see the Kansas Wetlands Education Center directly to the south.  What a great place to watch a sunset!
This overlook sits along the Wetlands and Wildlife National Scenic Byway.  One of just two national scenic byways in Kansas, this 77-mile route connects two of the most important wetlands in the U.S.: Cheyenne Bottoms and Quivira NWR. Visit the wetlands, but plan for frequent stops at many points of interest in seven corridor communities along the way.

Cheyenne Bottoms Overlook

A bird watchers’ and hunters’ dream. Cheyenne Bottoms is a 41,000 acre wetland complex managed by Kansas Wildlife Parks & Tourism and The Nature Conservancy and designated a Wetland of International Importance due to its importance as a stopover for migrating shorebirds and waterfowl along the Central Flyway. 
See birds and wildlife as you drive accessible dike roads and county roads on a self-guided tour or take a guided tour with staff from the Kansas Wetlands Education Center.
