Calling Anglers, Hunters, and Outsdoorman-Types…
 
The Community - Manhattan, KS
Neighboring Junction City Kansas (pop. 18,000) has been named one of the top 200 Towns in America to live for Anglers and Hunters. Situated in the Flint Hills the city is located at the confluence of Smoky Hill River and the Republican River where they join to form the Kansas. Nearby is 15,700 acre Lake Milford, the largest lake in Kansas, with 163 miles of shoreline and an abundance of recreational activities. Located in the scenic Flint Hills, this area will change your notions of the prairie; it's neither flat nor empty. Naturalist, Jan Jantzen said, The Flint Hills are an incredible, wonderful, almost magical place. There is no other place like it. National Geographic did a 22-page feature on the area entitled The Flint Hills: A Kansas Treasure.
 
Fort Riley
Established in 1852 to protect settlers moving along the Oregon-California and Santa Fe Trail, Fort Riley is best known for Scout Wild Bill Hickok and the famous Buffalo Soldiers who were stationed at the Fort. Today Fort Riley is home to the 1st Infantry Division and is recognized as one of the premier Division-level training installations in the world. The base population numbers nearly 27,000 people.
