Garden County boasts some of the most pristine nature in the country from the unique sandhills at Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge to the bluffs where Oregon Trail pioneers traveled through Ash Hollow State Historical Park to Clear Creek National Wildlife Refuge at the west end of Lake McConaughy. People travel from around the country for bird watching in what has been called the third best bird watching area of the country; for hunting migrating waterfowl, turkey, deer, and elk; and fishing at the North Platte River or many area lakes.
Sitting on the Ogallala Aquifer, Garden County has rich farming and ranching due to an abundance of water. The water is also the best tasting water anywhere - try Sandhills Water available at local stores. While you won't find a lot of traffic or even one traffic light, you will find all the essential services. Garden County Schools provides a great pre-K through high school education. Regional West - Garden County Health Services offers a clinic, hospital and nursing home and a high level of emergency care with trained EMT's on call 24/7. Your life in Garden County can be as quiet or as active as you want. Whether you want a creative outlet through the local art club or writer's club, want a church community with one of ten county churches or an opportunity to volunteer with Volunteers of America or one of many service groups - you can find a place to belong in Garden County. |
