K-244 (Kansas highway)


K-244 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. It is east–west spur route that serves Milford Lake in north-central Kansas. It was designated in 1964 as a connector between the lake and the state highway system.

K-244 was created by a resolution adopted by the State Highway Commission of Kansas on June 12, 1964.
