Chicken Creek Arch Park

Met my now wife here for our first date, proposed here and took our son's first 1yr old birthday pictures here.nBack 3 years ago it felt more historical without the graffiti all over the concrete and stone on the bridge..

That’s a darn good-looking 1913 stone arch bridge, even if it does cross Burton’s Branch and not Chicken Creek itself. Hey, at least it’s still there and wasn’t bulldozed to make room for the new concrete bridge. That was nice of them. And they put a plaque on it in 1999 with the name of the highway commissioners who saved it. They also put two trash cans there, and it’s not their fault if people don’t use them. The graffiti is a lot less obnoxious than in Parke County, Indiana... no “Tursts Suck” messages here. All in all a nice little place to stop and take a breath of the dusty Kansas air.

It's a historical bridge in the middle of nowhere. It's very peaceful and beautiful though. Sadly the area has been vandalized and graffiti and trash distract a bit from the experience.

The highlight of this small country wayside is an old stone bridge.

Peaceful little park setting
