Year-round. 50-square mile of area dubbed the "Kansas Ozarks" in the Ozark Plateau. Wildlife and bird watching. Probably the best place to see examples of Mississippian limestone of the Ozark Plateau is located at Schermerhorn Park. Shoal Creek, one of the major tributaries to Spring River, flows through the park. This spring-fed, ozarkian stream has been the major force shaping the basin, producing the physiographic features so common to the Ozark region--rolling hills and steep river bluffs. The park sits at the west end of a tall limestone bluff on the north side of the river. [144]
