About this unit
Sign in to contributeChase County is the epicenter of the Kansas Flint Hills, an iconic tallgrass prairie landscape of rolling limestone hills, bur oak timber, and spring-fed creek drainages. The Cottonwood River and its tributaries hold quality whitetail bucks that benefit from light hunting pressure and vast unfragmented rangeland. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve adds a rare chunk of federally protected public land in an otherwise private working-ranch landscape.
