Flint Hills Scenic Byway
Council Grove Reservoir, KS

Council Grove Reservoir is a Corps of Engineers-created reservoir just north of Council Grove. The 3,310-acre reservoir includes 2,638 acre wildlife area at the upper end of the reservoir. The lake is in a very aesthetic setting of rolling bluestem hills trimmed with hickory, oak, walnut and elm trees along the streams. Birdwatching, interpretive sites, nature trails, as well as boating, fishing (handicap accessible fishing spots), camping are all part of this experience.
