Post Rock Scenic Byway
Wilson State Park, KS

Wilson State Park is located on the southeastern edge of Wilson Lake, one of Kansas' premier recreation hotspots to fish, hike, or just enjoy the outdoors. The Hell Creek Area provides the convenience of a three-lane boat ramp, multiple shower houses, and modern campground amenities. With 100 utility sites, reservable shelters and a group camp area, campers and day users alike return year after year to this park. Wilson State Park also offers reservable individual campsites and the Rent-a-Camp program designed for the family wanting to “try out” camping for the weekend.

The Dakota Trail, located in the Big Bluestem Campground, gives lake visitors one of the best views of the reservoir and State Park Areas. This interpretive trail is 1 mile in length and will identify many plants associated with the surrounding region. It also features a cut-through half way for those wishing to shorten the walk.

The Switchgrass Bike Trail is a challenging 7.5 mile excursion through the Hell Creek area over hills and through valleys rarely seen by the visiting public. Take plenty of water and sharpen your mountain biking skills.
