Butler County, KS is the largest county in the State. It sits on the western edge of the Flint Hills. Here is a link to different tours for the area. Please call ahead, as some of the restaurants have closed.
These bridges are best photographed from down below. I always have jeans and boots on, but there were a few places I didn’t want to go thru as there was a lot of poison ivy! Thankfully I didn’t see any snakes! Wylie was in his “pouch” for most of these photos!
Bridge #1
Double Arch Built in 1912 Arches 20′ and 30′
Bridge #2
Built 1897 25′ Arch
This one is my favorite! I could have stayed here all day, beautiful rock ledge.
Bridge #3
Built in 1900 37′ Arch
Nice reflection of clouds in the water
Bridge #4
Built in 1899 36′ Arch
Bridge #5
Built 1899 36′ Arch (I don’t think this one is going to last much longer)
Just down the road from Bridge #5 was this old school.
Lily Lake School 1885-1966 (strange place for a cow!)
Looking forward to continuing this tour of Bridges of Butler County!

Thanks Jessica!! Our creek water isn’t as clear running as your creeks are! I didn’t want to wade in this water. We are needing some rain to recharge the creeks. Suppose to have a chance of strong storms later today.

It’s a trade off, clear streams or black dirt. 🙂 Where my folks live, the Mighty Missouri is muddy, but the crop land thrives! Pretty rocky here. 🙂
Those bridges have quite their own personality, don’t they? Can’t believe they were built in the 1800’s. So pretty with the arches.
That school is impressive! Funny about the cow.
