Nature Nature blessed Great Bend in a curious and unexpected way. She gave us an ocean in the midst of a sea of grass. A spectacular array of wildlife is attracted to our marshes and waters, offering nature lovers an unobstructed view into the wonders of the natural world. We make this guarantee. Spend a few days with us in the lush "Bottoms" and we promise that you will leave the rumor of "flat and dry" Kansas behind.
