Kansas has a lot of beauty, especially in the fall when rich colors of red, orange, and gold take over the green of our trees and high grasses. This park is an excellent example of just how beautiful fall foliage can be, if you’ve got the energy to hike it before it gets too cold. Come see the beauty for yourself!

Welcome to Wyandotte County Lake Park, a stunning area of Kansas City, Kansas that's simply gorgeous to explore in the fall.
