K-244 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas that is just under four miles (6.4 km) in length. 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.
Route description

It was created as the most direct route between the existing state highway system and Milford Lake.[1] It was shortened to its present course three years later when K-57 and K-244 Spur were designated.[4]
