One Of The Most Secluded Lakes In Kansas Is So Peaceful

There’s certainly no shortage of remote places in Kansas. We’re well-known for our peaceful middle-of-nowhere towns. Scott City is one of them. It’s a small town with a population of under 4,000. You’d have to drive nearly four hours to reach the closest city with more than 75,000 people in it. Scott City is best known as the home of Lake Scott State Park, which is one of the most beautiful state parks in the Sunflower State. The park shares its name with an absolutely stunning lake that’s so incredibly peaceful and a great spot for a day out near the water.

The park may be named after the lake, but perhaps its most famous feature is the ruins of El Cuartelejo (also known as El Quartelejo). The site is the only known Native American pueblo in Kansas.
