    Top of Coronado

    Coronado is a great spot for pictures or a midday walk. The view is incredible. Please relieve yourself before you go! (Theres one "bathroom" and its not for the faint)

    This place is a must see if haven't seen. There's a potty for bathroom, but it was to dirty, so use the bathroom beforehand. Great place to stop and relax for a while. They have tables for picnic. Bring food and drinks. There's a fireplace if needed to set a fire going. Great place for parties or dates. Last 3 miles of gravel road to get here, but I seen Tesla's drive through. Great place for sunsets and sunrises.

    My husband and I stopped by this roadside attraction during our short getaway to Lindsborg. We went to the top of the castle and you can see the countryside for miles! There are hiking trails for you to go in which we plan to do next time when I'm wearing appropriate shoes! There are a dozen or more picnic table areas set up and each also have a fire pit area. It's pretty neat. The bathrooms there are pretty rough though. Lol. Can't wait to go back and show our kids.

    Apparently this spot got its name after a Spanish dubloon was found up on the hill. It was supposed this was the farthest north Coronado ventured. I came here with my boyfriend and we had to dodge a busload of tots who were jumping through the little castle, but it was well worth the adventure. The lichen-covered rocks that were laid down with such purpose by the Work Progess Administration in the 1930s... The ridiculously cute matching BBQ pit across the site... The view of giant Kansas sky... The fact that you're in the middle of nowhere (pardon the exaggeration, folks) on top of a miniature castle and you've just climbed through a hole in the ceiling to get to where you're at. If you don't enjoy the legend, you've got to enjoy that. If you're coming through the Salina/Lindsborg area you should check it out-- weather permitting, of course. There are some steep hills so rain and ice could make this place tricky. Great place to stop and picnic, rest from the road or bring the kids. Even a whole busload of them.

    Definitely a place to take the kids for a fun filled day. Wander around, it's worth it!

    Great views of the countryside, and nice trails you can walk or ride bikes on. Has a few tables for picnicking.

    You drive up the winding hill and at the top you'll find a really cool "castle" built by the WPA for enjoyment by the public.

    Beautiful park! We started our hike at Buffalo Track Canton Nature Trailhead, which is located a…read moreshort drive into Kanopolis Lake State Park. This trailhead has two entrance points, and one is usually more manicured than the other. We didn't know there was a difference at the time and took the path less traveled and less tended to. Which was unfortunate for us because we were walking through tall grasses and brush, which was uncomfortable because some of the people I was hiking with were wearing shorts. So, if you want a more pleasant hike, make sure you're taking the hiking trail that has been mowed. Other than slapping away plants and hoping we weren't transporting ticks, the hike was great and the scenery here is beautiful. Our trail was a little less than a mile one way, and led us to a really cool cave with rocks that looked like the profile of a person! We checked out the cave for a while, then headed back. Once you're at the cave, you do have an option to travel down another trail to go farther into the park, but we chose to just head back. There's a lake here and other things, but we only visited the park to hike. We had a great time hiking, though! This part of Kansas is beautiful, and walking through Kanopolis is a great way to experience some of it.

    Great camping spot and lake. Shower facilities could use some cleaning and updated paint but…read moreoverall a really nice spot.
