Lake Atwood Campground Park, Atwood, Kansas

The town of Atwood, Kansas, is nestled in the heart of the picturesque Beaver Valley in the northwest corner of the state. Surrounding the town, golden wheat fields and lush green ranches soak up the sun. A standing tribute to its early pioneers, Atwood's presence on the prairie maintains the friendly atmosphere and hard work ethic from which the town was born. Settled in 1875, it quickly became home to immigrant families whose descendents still live, work and prosper in the heart of Rawlins County.

Nationally known as some of the best hunting grounds in the country, Atwood hosts pheasant hunters from across the nation each autumn. Deer, quail, dove and wild turkey also delight the hunter, who will find a warm welcome and comfortable accommodations in one of Atwood's fine motels, bed-and-breakfasts, or one of the hunting lodges that dot the county's magnificent landscape.

Lake Atwood is a beautiful 43 acre Lake at the north end of town. It is encircled by a lighted walking path with a unique covered walking bridge. The Lake is surrounded by magnificent old cottonwood trees, shaded campsites and picnic areas. There are camper hookups and bathroom and shower facilities are available. One can enjoy the many aspects of the Lake, walking, fishing, canoeing, lounging in the shade, even feeding the many species of water fowl that consider Lake Atwood their home.
