Cimarron Grassland - Federal 1-10 - 760.K

Cimarron National Grasslands is USFS land surrounding 25 miles of the Cimarron river and a portion of the historic Santa Fe Trail, located in the southwest corner of Kansas. The terrain is rolling hills with tall prairie grass and a sandy river bottom full of cottonwood trees. Hiking and 4x4 trails crisscross the area in an extensive network. The closest town for fuel and supplies is Elkhart, KS. FR 760.K (Federal 1-10) is an easy double-track trail through tall prairie grass and rolling hills. The west end of the trail leads to oil and gas equipment. This trail is part of a route that crosses the southern edge of the grasslands from Highway 27 to County Road 16, comprising FR 702, FR 760.K, FR 755, and H Blvd. This area is actively used for cattle grazing and oil and natural gas production. Always leave gates as you find them. Dispersed camping is allowed on the USFS land unless otherwise posted. However, there are very few clearings in the brush to set up a tent. There is an improved pay campground accessible from South River Road (FR 700.2)
