| Lower Cimarron Spring (Wagon Bed Spring)
|
Lower Cimarron Spring, also known as Wagon Bed Spring,
is on the north bank of the Cimarron River. It is approximately 11 miles south
and 1.5 miles west of Ulysses (about 2 miles west of the markers on Kansas
25 south of the river bridge). Lower Cimarron Spring was well known to
all travelers who took the Cimarron route because it was the first reliable
water supply they encountered after leaving the Arkansas River. Trail campgrounds
were often located at this site.
