Review:
Designated in 1988 as a “Wetland of International Importance,” Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area in Great Bend, Kansas is the largest marsh within the interior of the country and regarded as the western hemisphere’s most significant shorebird migration point, with around 45 percent of the shorebird population of North America stopping in the area during their spring migration. There are three different entrances into the Cheyenne Bottoms, with information kiosks providing driving tour booklets, checklists, and maps situated on each of the entry drives. A short drive from the K-156 entrance is an overlook platform that offers a good feel for the expansive landscape.
