RV rental Elk City State Park, KS: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities within the park, and there are more than a half-dozen trails that provide for each. Most of the trails are shorter in length, just a couple of miles long, while one trail is longer for those who would like more of a workout. Some of the trails are designated single-use, for either walking or mountain biking, and some are multi-use. The mountain biking trails have obstacles to challenge your skill level; you can expect to experience roller coaster-style elevations and long jumps that have paths around either end of the log for less experienced cyclists. Hikers will find some paths with wooden walkways and interpretive signs explaining flora and fauna on hand. Some of the paths may be more difficult with slowly ascending hills, and some may have scenic lookouts where you can view the lake. You can expect to pass through some areas that have vertical rock walls, caves, and fields dotted with boulders. You will also pass through old-growth forest on a few trails, some of the trees being more than 200 years old. From the trails, you can also go canoeing or kayaking on the lake, and younger kids will enjoy the on-site playground. There is a wide array of bird species in Elk City State Park, making it an ideal destination for bird and wildlife viewing. Photographers will have their choice of breathtaking landscapes and wildlife photography should the park's residents decide to make an appearance.
