Situated on the banks of the Arkansas River, the community of Arkansas City is near the Kansas-Oklahoma border and makes it easy to travel between a variety of environments and communities. However, don’t let the name fool you; when in the area, make sure to pronounce the final "s" in Arkansas. This pioneer town is filled with history that mirrors that of the American expansion west, and when you rent an RV in the area, you are sure to get a stronger understanding of the Great Plains. When you’re visiting Arkansas City, you will be within easy reach to explore many of southern Kansas’ and northern Oklahoma’s forests, plains, lakes, and other unique habitats.

When you book an RV in Cowley County, you’ll be able to explore the historic and romantic Great Plains regions of the country. With miles of roads to explore and plenty of natural lands to enjoy, securing a motorhome rental in Arkansas City will create a truly memorable experience.

The Great Outdoors

Just over the state border into Oklahoma is the Lake Ponca Park in Ponca City, Oklahoma. A short drive away, Lake Ponca Park is a great destination for those traveling during the summer. With three sections of the lake open to swimming, fishing, boating, and sunbathing, the park is a wonderful way to beat the heat. You can also enjoy the various nature trails that wind around the lake sections and learn even more about the Great Plains wildlife.

For an easy day trip, you can head east of town to the Elk City State Park in Independence, Kansas. At Elk City State Park, several ecosystems and habitats come together to create a natural oasis that is truly representative of Kansas and Great Plains wildlife. With oak woodlands and forests, rolling grasslands, and even a picturesque lake, you can escape to the wilderness and feel connected to the traditional Great Plains.

Another easy day trip is just over the border into Oklahoma at the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge near Cherokee, Oklahoma. This bizarre, unique landscape is the only salt plains region for hundreds of miles, and it is in very easy reach when you rent an RV in Arkansas City, KS. You can enjoy watching bison, whooping cranes, or even try your hand fishing for some catfish. If you’re traveling during the warmer months, you can even try your luck and do a little bit of salt crystal digging and see if you can find some interesting shapes.
