Post Rock Scenic Byway
Hell Creek Bridge, KS

Hell Creek Bridge, located on the east end of Wilson Lake, spans across an area offering views of a big rocky cove featuring Dakota Sandstone. The bridge is highly visible from the byway, and sits about 1/4 mile off of the byway, on another road. Another, smaller bridge, this one part of the byway, crosses Hell Creek. Hell Creek was so named because the creek runs east to west (opposite from all of the other rivers and streams in the region). The Native Americans thought that since it ran backwards, it was possessed by evil spirits. The pioneers who settled the area continued the tradition, callin the creek Hell Creek.
