Wilson State Park, Public recreational area in Russell County, Kansas, US
Wilson State Park spreads across Russell County with natural limestone outcrops, cedar forests, and grasslands surrounding the Wilson Reservoir shoreline.
The Kansas Legislature established Wilson State Park in 1966, initially comprising the Hell Creek Area, and later expanded with the Otoe Area in 1984.
The park organizes regular educational programs about local wildlife, including deer, pheasants, and waterfowl, through interpretive trails and guided sessions.
Visitors can reserve camping spots at Big Bluestem, Foxtail, Lovegrass, or Wheatgrass campgrounds, with access to modern restrooms and drinking water facilities.
The Switchgrass Mountain Bike Trail extends for 24.5 miles through the park, offering riders technical challenges across varied terrain and elevation changes.
