160 Horse Camp

Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers

New listing

160 Horse Camp is located on the crystal clear Big Hill Lake in southeast Kansas. The lake boasts three campgrounds, three equestrian trails (two of which offer camping) and four day-use areas for the public to enjoy. Camping, picnicking, horseback riding, hiking, swimming, fishing and other outdoor activities abound. Campers can venture onto several hiking and equestrian trails including the Big Hill Lake Horse Trail, a 17-mile trail with a variety of terrain for all ages to explore. The trail winds along a scenic hardwood ridge that offers gorgeous views all along the way. Big Hill Lake is known as a trophy lake for fishing, and principal species of sport fish include largemouth bass, crappie, channel and flathead catfish, bluegill, walleye and smallmouth bass. The lake is also popular for fishing tournaments. Almost all of the land around the lake is open to public hunting, except for parks and areas around the dam and control structures; principal species hunted are whitetail deer, turkey and squirrel. Families with kids will enjoy the sand-covered beach nearby for cooling off from the summer heat and enjoying a picnic. 160 Horse Camp offers vault toilets and horse corrals. The park is nestled in the rolling, wooded countryside referred to as the Little Ozarks. With thick oak-hickory forests surrounded by prairie and farmland, the lake shore supplies a variety of habitats for birds and mammals. The camp has a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of trees for shade, and the lake is only a short walk away from the campsites.
