One Of The Most Remote Lakes In Kansas Is Also The Most Peaceful
There’s certainly no shortage of remote places in Kansas. We’re well-known for our peaceful middle-of-nowhere towns. Scott City is one of them. It’s a small town with a population of under 4,000. You’d have to drive nearly four hours to reach the closest city with more than 75,000 people in it. Scott City is best known as the home of Lake Scott State Park, which is one of the most beautiful state parks in the Sunflower State. The park shares its name with an absolutely stunning lake that’s so incredibly peaceful and a great spot for a day out near the water.
The park may be named after the lake, but perhaps its most famous feature is the ruins of El Cuartelejo (also known as El Quartelejo). The site is the only known Native American pueblo in Kansas.
An afternoon spent on or near Lake Scott will make you feel miles away from both civilization and your worries. This middle-of-nowhere spot may not be in a big city, but it's perfect for tranquility and relaxation.
