Observation Point

               

This area is located above the west end of the dam, just off of Tuttle Cove Road.  As can be seen, the views from this location can be quite spectacular, especially during fair weather.  The park contains one picnic shelter that is available on a first come, first serve basis.  A short interpretive trail orients visitors to some of the Flint Hills flora.

This area is open 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily.  However, during inclement weather, access may be restricted.
