Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking up to the gentle lap of lake waters on one side and the quiet flow of the river on the other. The campground's unique geography creates an intimate waterside setting, where grassy shorelines and sandy beaches invite you to kick off your shoes and wade right in. As evening falls, watch fireflies dance among the trees while deer pick their way to the water's edge. Lucky campers might even spot raccoons foraging at dusk or catch a glimpse of larger wildlife moving through this corridor where forest meets water.

About Kirwin Reservoir

Context for the broader area surrounding Two Rivers Campground, sourced from the federal Recreation.gov rec-area record.

Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), the first national wildlife refuge in Kansas, was established in 1954 as an overlay project on a Bureau of Reclamation irrigation and flood control reservoir. <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=108">Kirwin Dam</A> and Reservoir are features of the <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=471t">Kirwin Unit, P-SMBP</A>. Reclamation owns the land and controls reservoir water levels while the Refuge staff from the Fish and Wildlife Service manages all other activities on the land and water. The reservoir is fed by the North Fork of the Solomon River and Bow Creek. Both are intermittent streams, which means they may dry up in periods of low precipitation. The reservoir and refuge are open 24 hours. Good access roads. Available species of fish include crappie, walleye, wipers, largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel and flathead catfish, and freshwater drum. Fishing is year round. <a href="http://www.usbr.gov/gp-bin/arcweb_kwks.pl">Current Reservoir Level.</a>

Site is 4 miles west and 1 mile south of Kirwin, KS or 11 miles southeast of Phillipsburg, Kansas. Nearest highway is State Highway 9.
