Lake Breaks If you’ve had too much sun, or if the fish aren’t biting, take a break to visit area attractions. From Kanopolis Lake, drive 25 miles northeast to Salina for the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure; the zoo is home to more than 300 animals. In downtown Salina, Capers Cafe and Bakery features espresso drinks and yummy baked goods. Manhattan’s Aggieville, a collection of funky, college-town shops and restaurants, is only minutes from Tuttle Creek Reservoir. South of Manhattan, hike trails through Kansas State University’s Konza Prairie Biological Station. From Wilson Lake, head north a few miles to Lucas for the quirky Garden of Eden. Cheney and El Dorado lakes are both near Wichita. Turn to page 41 for fun things to do there. * * * w w w. t r a v e l K S . c o m 29 http://www.TravelKS.com http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us http://www.TravelKS.com
