I've been out to this lake several times. A couple times to kayak and swim. A time or two to just drive around the lake because it's a beautiful place. Everytime I go out, it is even better than the last.
I like going out to take pictures too. Amazing areas for that. The pictures I am posting are from Sunday 9/26/21.
I also read on their website about an Astronomical place they have now with the strongest telescope in KS. (?)
It's open 24 hours so you can see the night sky. I definitely am going to go out and see this.
On Sunday it was kinda windy, however, the weather was perfect. I didn't swim, but just sat over at the beach watching birds, kids playing in the water and boaters enjoying the water.
This lake has a lot to offer. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, you're in the right place. Even if you don't live here in KS, you could come out for a vacay. You won't be disappointed.
There's lots to do near by; great restaurants, historical places, and geeat people. Kansas is well known for having the friendliest people on earth. (at least I think so) 😉
Back to lakes, besides Banner, there are several lakes around in KS that are just as beautiful. Clinton Lake in Lawrence, Perry Lake in Perry, Tuttle Creek in Manhattan, just to name a few.
Whatever or whatever you vacation, be sure to check out what Kansas has to offer. It's definitely the spot for many reasons. You won't be disappointed. I grew up here. I will always consider it "home" no matter where I go.
Have a great time exploring your dreams. But be sure you ad Kansas to your 'bucket' list or to your 'wanna go' places.
