About Mushroom Rock State Park
Mushroom-shaped rock formations rise from the ground here, giving the park its name. The land sits within the Smoky Hills region of north-central Kansas, an area marked by this kind of sandstone formation. It is one of the smallest units in the Kansas state park system, focused on preserving these distinctive rock shapes for visitors to see up close.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
