Mushroom Rock State Park

If the weather’s great and you want a short walk, this is your place. A couple of rock formations just off of the dirt road, in a tiny park. It’s not a day trip by any means, but if you’re passing through (is that possible?), it’s worth the 20 minute stroll.

Great if you’re in the neighborhood, but not worth the drive if you aren’t, and seeing as this is in BFE, nobody’s in the neighborhood.
A solid 30 minutes from 70, unless you get within a mile of this place and the road is closed and you have to backtrack 15 minutes, in which case you’re looking at a huge time investment. Not that that happened to me.
You can’t see the rocks from far away. They are not that big. Seriously. In my mind I thought they were gonna be more… majestic. Nope. Just… some rocks out in a field. Now granted, they are weird, and you wonder how they got there, but after 30 minutes of driving on dirt roads through the farms of Kansas, watching the bars disappear from your cell phone service, praying you don’t get a flat tire, it’s hard to be impressed.
Park off to the side of the road. Go south for the biggest rock. You’ll see a little bridge. BE CAREFUL. That place is a poison ivy hot zone.
They did have picnic benches and some shade, and not a soul for miles, so it would be an adorable place for a picnic, or to get raped and left for dead.

Not much here except a few mushroom shaped rocks. cool to look at for a few minutes. Not a place I would visit again. Great place for peace and quiet.

Who would have thought driving down an unpaved country road, one would come across rocks that look like mushrooms? Was I tripping? No, this is real!
This unusual little park in the middle of nowhere is a really nice place to go for a picnic, just hang out, read a book, get away, etc. The rocks are actually limestone formations that over time wore down to pedestals on the bottom. Its far off the beaten path but worth the trip if anywhere nearby.
