Sightseeing

The waterfall is a hidden gem, whether at high volume after a rain or at lower tide in between. Well worth the drive.

The restored barns are in high demand for destination weddings and unique overnights (check out the treehouse). The proprietors are personal friends of ours and amazing hosts. Call ahead and see if they can show you around.

On your way back from the waterfall at Cowley State Fishing Lake, stop in Dexter for Henry's candies. Sometimes you'll get to watch them making the treats; on Sundays they make all-day suckers.

Drinks & Nightlife

The atmosphere is spectacular, the drinks on tap are decent, and when a train rolls by, raise your hand for a "Conductor's Special" $2 beer.

Essentials

There is a small grocery section with essentials, and their milk is the best: hormone free, fresh from an Oklahoma dairy farm.

Parks & Nature

Playground and fishing inside the park, or take a right outside the park and wind around to the nature trail, or to walk or bike along the top of the dyke.

Food scene

This food truck adds Japanese cuisine to the Winfield dining landscape. The full menu is on their Facebook page, as well as their phone number. At lunchtime I suggest calling ahead, and a 15-20 minute wait is normal. Bento boxes are an easy choice if you can't decide, but my go-to is American Dragon--yum!

Big portions of breakfast-style comfort food make this the best full service breakfast place in town. Hours and days of operation can be tricky, and they are busiest on the weekend as would be expected. Not a place to hurry your meal. Relax and enjoy!

Winfield has a significant Laotian population, and this store carries unique Asian foods you won't find anywhere else in town. Spring rolls, banh mi sandwiches, and desserts are sometimes available for lunch, and grab a drink from the coolers in the back. Be adventurous!

Biederman's is great for intimate dining under low lights in a booth. The food is cafe/bistro fare. The standout is the Monte Cristo sandwich--oh man. Check the specials board on the way in for off-menu dishes.

The fastest kitchen in town, and great Mexican food. We've learned not to ask for the second basket of chips, because the food will arrive before you can make a dent in them. Everything's good, but I favor the Burrito Mexicano, with tender roast beef.

The atmosphere is spectacular, an industrial decor "heavy" with metal accents. The menu is mostly burgers and steak. I recommend the Rail or Hangover Cure (burgers) and the spicy fettuccini. The Chicken Frizzled Steak is ginormous; plan to share. When a train rolls by, raise your hand for a "Conductor's Special" $2 beer on tap.

The Neighborhood

Easy walking distance from the apartment, this neighborhood treasure is a must visit. Blenda is a wonderful host, and I can recommend literally everything on the menu. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the morning, muffins, cookies, and sweet breads any time for a snack. Pride of Iowa cookies are the best!

A welcoming church community and long fixture of the College Hill section of Winfield. The organ music and stained glass windows are delightful.
