Cawker City, home of the World's Largest Ball of Twine, is located in north central Kansas along U.S. Highway 24, in Mitchell County, Kansas and the beautiful Solomon Valley.

​Poised on the shores of Waconda Lake and near Glen Elder State Park, the area around Cawker City offers some of the finest hunting, fishing, camping and boating in the state.  The community also maintains Lakeside Park which includes a pristine 9-hole golf course located directly alongside the lake.
