Even in turbulent times, there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors through hunting and fi shing in Barton County.

Cheyenne Bottoms, the largest inland marsh in the United States, is located in Barton County, and the wildlife area remains open to the public for hunting, bird-watching, and many other outdoor activities. It is primarily a prairie marsh but also includes wet meadows, grasslands, agricultural land, shelterbelts and riparian areas.

Barton County’s wildlife diversity, including abundant waterfowl and upland game, along with a mix of public hunting areas and easily accessible walk-in hunting, make it the ideal place for hunting and fi shing. It’s home to nearly 400 species of migrating birds and other wildlife.

Th e Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Area Wildlife Manager Jason Wagner (620-793-3066) oversees hunting at the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area north of Great Bend.
