Information about the Kaw River State Park Float (Sept. 4) and the Wild & Scenic Film Festival (Oct. 14) is in the FOK News section

The Kansas River (which is also called the Kaw) begins at the confluence of the Republican and Smoky Hill Rivers near Junction City and flows 173 miles to Kansas City, where it joins the Missouri River. The Kaw watershed drains almost the entire northern half of Kansas, as well as part of Nebraska and Colorado (53,000 square miles in all), and is the longest prairie based river in the world. Come explore the Kaw with us in the River Atlas and Where You Live and Work, and join us for float trips and other fun events on the river. Our newsletter is now available online.
