Going Fishing Deep in the Kansas Flinthills

Timeline 

February 7 2015 

Location: Deep in the Kansas Flint hills

The day started out  Loading up the Polaris

with all of our fishing gear, Fishing Poles

We are fishing the water shed lake located on Paul's 

land 

when we fish the small lake we normally use the small two man boat

And Paul always make sure everything is working 

and all of the gear is loaded.

My job is to bring FOOD.

then we put the boat in the water and enjoy a nice peaceful day

fishing 

South East Kansas offers some of the best sport fishing 

in the country.

No matter what species of fish you fish for

these water shed lakes and city lakes has what you 

are looking for.

The Large mouth fishing is second to none,

crappie fishing, well be prepared to clean a lot of fish.

These forgotten waters also play home to

Blue cats, Flat heads, and Channel cat fish.

Even if you don't catch any fish

the Flint hills beauty is second to none.

 no matter what time of the year

  

Island Park of South central Kansas's Hidden Gems

Island Park 

Winfield Kansas

The Hidden gem located in the Foothills of the Flint hills

I remember Island Park from my child hood

My family lived in Winfield 50's
and Every summer We had family reunions in this park

It looks a bit different now,

The Citizens and the city of Winfield have taken great
pride in making this a destination Park.

  Recently added is this wonderful play area for
Kids of all ages.

Several Years ago Somebody set fire to the playground that was in place,
burning it to the ground.
Well the fine Citizens of Winfield and the City Joined forces
and up from the ashes this wonderful new playground arose

It's completely kid friendly, with all kinds of
things to climb on, slide down,hang on to,
there are cows, and Pigs,

 and Pigs,

the entire surface of the play ground is made from a material 

that I don't know what is 

but is is soft to walk on and even softer if you should 

happen to fall down.

The Park is Beautiful the lawns are keep up,

there are numinous flower gardens

The building that houses the restrooms 

are decorated in fine fashion

So if you are ever in the neighborhood

Be sure to visit Island Park

Oh I forgot the reason it's called Island Park?

that is because it is an Island !!!

it has water surrounding it 

must drive across the bridge to enter

There are two bridges one is a walking bridge 

Come to Winfield
