Trego County in west-central Kansas offers some of the most varied terrain in the region, where the Smoky Hill River has carved bluffs, chalk outcrops, and cedar-choked draws through the high plains. Whitetail deer concentrate in the river corridor and wild turkey have expanded along the growing cedar habitat across the county. Cedar Bluff Reservoir provides a rare island of public hunting land in this largely private-land region.
