This paper summarizes final results of the K2K experiment which probes neutrino oscillation on accelerator produced neutrino beam sent over 250 km baseline toward the Super-Kamiokande detector. K2K collected 9.2 \times 1019 protons on target during its operation from 1999 to 2004. A total number of 112 beam induced neutrino events have been detected while 155.9+11.5-10.2 events were expected for no oscillation scenario. Incorporating into analysis a distortion of neutrino energy spectra an allowed region of 1.9 \times 10-3 < \Delta m2 < 3.5 \times 10-3 {eV}2 was obtained for sin22 \theta = 1.0 in agreement with atmospheric neutrino results. A limit for transformation of muon neutrino into electron neutrino has been achieved at sin22 \theta 13 < 0.26 from one detected shower like data event.
