Kiowa County truly
is where the Sun first shines on the state of Colorado. Located on
the Eastern edge of Colorado, beautiful sunrises adorn 1872 square
miles of pristine beauty, crystal blue skies, and vast prairies
literally unscarred by urban blight.
Adding to the pastoral beauty of Kiowa County is an amazing 23 square
surface miles of lakes and reservoirs, making Kiowa County a boating and
fishing paradise nearly unparalleled in Colorado!
|
|
|
Rich in history, the
vast beauty of Kiowa County is easily accessible and only a short
2 to 3
hour drive from Denver or Colorado Springs. Visible wildlife and scenic
vistas provide welcome relief from the snarl and congestion of crowded
cities. |
