Heritage High Lodge, Glen Elder, Kansas, is located just a half-mile from beautiful Waconda Lake and Glen Elder State Park, in the Heart of the Solomon Valley.
|
A friendly rural community of 500 people, Glen Elder is nestled at the base of Glen Elder Dam and Waconda Lake in the fertile Solomon River valley and along U.S. Highway 24 in north central Kansas. Waconda Lake provides opportunities for boating and excellent fishing, while the surrounding prairie and fields afford notable hunting for upland game birds, deer and wild turkey. The area is also renowned for its duck and goose hunting.
Glen Elder State Park, located immediately west of town on the north side of the lake, is easily and quickly accessible to everyone in the community. The Park offers both manicured modern and primitive camping facilities and all-weather roads that are open year-round.
The bright blue skies, clean air, expansive vistas, and glowing sunsets provide a perfect place to escape the stress and hustle of work or urban life. Slipping off to small town America in the very center of the Heartland will give you a sense of returning to simpler times. For travelers with the pioneer spirit, Glen Elder lies halfway between the Santa Fe Trail to the south and Oregon Trail to the north. Twenty day's journey out of Westport, Missouri, by "wagon train" should place you in the vicinity. |
