    This was one of two lakes a planned to visit in Kansas last weekend after my trip to Iowa from Kansas City. Time was running short on clear nights so in spite of a lack of sleep, I was Kansas bound. This was the first lake of the two. I tend to specialize in night photos so I was looking for a few features to foreground the stars or night sky. I found some easy views here and it warrants a return visit at some point when the moon is minimal.

    Would like more trees close together to Hammock in and I recommend avoiding unpaved areas after heavy rain or snow! Gorgeous at sunset!

    This place was very cool. Saw at least 15 types of birds the day we went, including snow geese, pelicans, numerous types of ducks, and a beautiful bald eagle feasting on a duck. Looking forward to taking our kayaks out here, both on the lake and on the river below the damn.
