Playas of the High Plains Lure Eye and Ecologist
Western Kansas hosts thousands of playa lakes or small wetlands across depressions in fields. Art Gomez, wetland coordinator for the Kansas Alliance for Wetlands and Streams, notes Cheyenne Bottoms near Great Bend as the largest inland marsh and explains how rains reveal these ponds. The Kansas Wetlands Education Center at Fort Hays State University promotes awareness of playa lakes as key High Plains wetlands.
