Scenic Drive - You don't have to do more than step outside your door here to see the beauty and grandeur of God's Country, but if a drive is what you have in mind, a thirty-six mile loop north and east of Benjamin will take your breath away. Views of farm and ranch land cut by the south Wichita River breaks include fantastic shapes in multicolored soils. North on Highway 6 to F.M. 1756, east to F.M. 267, south to U.S. 82, then west back to Benjamin. A well-maintained roadside park on U.S. 82 provides impressive views north to the South Wichita River and south to the Brazos River. The roadside park is located at a point called "The Narrows" on a ridge line that separates the two major watersheds.
