Turnout 2 miles north of Baxter Springs used by travelers along Route 66. In sharp contrast to today's mega rest areas along Interstate Highways, this road side park is quiet and peaceful, with lots of room to roam, take a walk to stretch your legs, use the comfort station, have a picnic lunch, and let the dog have a run.
