The Underrated Beach With The Whitest, Most Pristine Sand In Kansas
Glen Elder State Park in Kansas offers a beach-like experience with its white sands and scenic lake.
Okay, I know you're thinking, "We don't have beaches, this is Kansas!" Well, I know that. This lake, however, will make you feel just like you're building castles at a real beach, minus the salty spray and, well, sharks. Catfish are much nicer than sharks, I promise.
Welcome to Glen Elder State Park, home of some of Kansas' whitest sands. Here, you can get the best of both worlds.
Some of the whitest sands in Kansas can be found right here at Glen Elder Reservoir, overlooking a blue lake that has all the feelings of summer fun in Kansas.
Sculptures are easy to make when you've got white, pristine sands to work with!
Let me tell you, the sand looks extra white when it snows. Jokes aside, this state park really is beautiful year-round.
Sunsets reflecting off of the calm waters, and laying under the sky on some of Kansas' whitest sands will be the closest thing you'll get to an ocean side experience.
The state park can be found at 2131 180 RD Glen Elder, Kansas.
