[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Mushroom Rock State Park is located in Ellsworth County and is the smallest state park in Kansas, only 5 acres of land making up the entire park. However, what it lacks in size is more than made up in historical and geological significance. The mushroom-shaped rocks were created by the erosion of softer dirt and sandstone under the heavier and harder rock above. The mushroom rocks were a major landmark for pioneers taveling the Fremont Trail in the 1800's and were a favorite meeting spot for Indians.

The town of Carniero is the closest community to the park. Mushroom Rock State Park is on Avenue K (a gravel road), about a mile due south of Carniero and approximately 25 miles west-southwest of Salina.
