Post Rock Scenic Byway Bicycle Guide

Post Rock Scenic Byway SignAlthough the Post Rock Scenic Byway is only 18 miles long, it packs a lot of scenery and history into a short trip. The byway is named for the stone fenceposts created by immigrant farmers who, not deterred by the lack of wood in the region, split native limestone into post rocks to serve as rugged fenceposts.

The route runs north from Wilson to Lucas on K-232 Highway, passing along the eastern shore of Wilson Reservoir, home to the Wilson Lake Trails, one of one of Kansas' premier mountain bike trail systems.
