Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway
Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, KS

Quivira is 22,135 acres of prairie grasses, salt marshes, sand dunes, canals, dikes, and timber. A system of 21 miles of canals and 25 miles of dikes provides nearly 6,000 acres of managed wetland and marshes. Little Salt Marsh and Big Salt Marsh are ancient basins that have seen hundreds of thousands of waterfowl arrive for food, cover, and a place to rest on migration trips. Original prairie, stabilized sand dunes and 15 acres of century-old cottonwoods encourage walks.
