K-368 is a 1.000 mile (1.609 km) state highway in Osage County, Kansas. The short state route starts at K-268, and travels northward. It ends at the entrance of Pomona State Park one mile later. The route was designated in 1965, two years after the state park was created. The route has not changed significantly ever since.
Route description
All of K-368 is in eastern Osage County.[1] The short, two-lane road is not part of the National Highway System.[2] K-368 starts at the intersection of K-268 and South Paulen Road, and travels north. The route heads uphill in a straight line, through farmland and a few trees. K-368 crosses Flint Hills nature trail, which leads to Vassar. Later, the road ends at intersection of East 229th Street and the entrance of Pomona State Park, after passing by a few driveways.[1]<ref name=[3][4] About 90 vehicles travel on the road daily on average.[1]
History
In 1963, Pomona State Park was created, after a dam was made to control watershed, forming a lake.[3] Two years later, K-368 was designated, at the same time as K-268.[5][6] The route was paved around the same time it was designated,[6] and no significant changes have been made to the route ever since.[7]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Osage County.
