Prairie Dog State Park is a 1,150-acre state park set on the shores of Keith Sebelius Lake in Norton County. Located in western Kansas, the Prairie Dog State Park is famous for being home to over 300 prairie dogs, a population which has grown from nothing since the park was established. Facilities at the park include primitive campsites with shower and restroom facilities and reservable cabins, a 1.4-mile nature trail with Story Walk signage to explore the park and observe wildlife, and two vintage 19th-century buildings, including a one-room school and renovated adobe house. The Keith Sebelius Reservoir offers excellent fishing for black bass, catfish, walleye, crappie and wiper, and the 6,400-acre Norton Wildlife Area is home to white-tailed and mule deer, pheasant, waterfowl, and rabbits.
