Woodson County encompasses 504 square miles of the most awe-inspiring beauty, for nature lovers, photographers and artists, alike. Our county is located in the southeastern portion of Kansas and is the gateway to the crossed-timbered area of the Chautauqua Hills and to the grasslands of the Flint Hills, located to the west. Woodson County offers approximately 3,380 acres of water recreation between four lakes. Swimming, fishing, hunting, water skiing, camping, boating, hiking, picnicking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing all make Woodson County a very beautiful and entertaining place to visit. Agricultural interests dominated the early development of Woodson County and remain an important influence today. Our county is known as the "Prairie Hay Capital of the World," the rich grasslands need no irrigation and provide excellent grazing for the abundant livestock. Non-emergency: (620) 625-8640.
