Richey Cove

<h2>Overview</h2>
Richey Cove Campground is located on the 3,310-acre Council Grove Lake in the green expanses of eastern Kansas.<h2>Recreation</h2>
Boating is a popular pastime at the lake, and a boat ramp is located in the campground for visitors' convenience.
<br /><br />
The lake is known for its fishing opportunities, with crappie and catfish being the most abundant.  Council Grove was also the first lake in Kansas to receive stocking of Saugeye. 
<br /><br />
Hunters will find populations of quail, prairie chicken, wild turkey and deer on the nearly 2,700 acres of public hunting lands surrounding the lake. 
<br /><br />
Hiking trails wind along the lake shore and into the forest. Pioneer Nature Trail is known as the most scenic trail, with plenty of wildlife, greenery and wildflowers creating a beautiful background. 
<br /><br />
Council Grove is also a starting point for the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway. This byway travels through the best of the remaining remnants of the Tallgrass Prairie Ecosystem in North America.<br /><br /> Along the byway and 25 miles south is the National Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, where visitors can spot colorful wildflowers in the spring and array of autumn colors in the fall.<h2>Facilities</h2>
Richey Cove Campground offers 43 reservable campsites, including one group camping area that can accommodate up to 40 guests. Electric hookups, flush toilets and other modern amenities are provided. 
<br /><br />
The campground has plenty of shade, along with open grassy areas for games and recreation.<h2>Natural Features</h2>
Council Grove Lake sits in the rolling, grassy Flint Hills. The lake is created by a dam built in 1964, and now offers recreational opportunities to hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.<br /><br />
Historically this area is where the Osage Indians signed a treaty to establish the Old Santa Fe Trail. A marker in the town of Council Grove indicates the place where the treaty was signed.
<h2>Nearby Attractions</h2>
The town of Council Grove, located about 2 miles southeast of the lake, is a National Historic District, with seven Santa Fe National Historic Trail sites in the community.

Richey Cove Campground is located on the 3,310-acre Council Grove Lake in the green expanses of eastern Kansas.
