The Great Plains Reservoirs are located nine miles south of Eads on Highway 287. The largest reservoirs consist of four lakes bearing Cheyenne Indian names. Nee Gronda (Big Water), Neesopah (Black Water), Neeskah (Queen)and Neenoshe (Standing Water) are the four lakes. Queens State Wildlife Area, also known as North and South Reservoirs, is also near Eads. Adobe Creek Reservoir, or Blue Lake, is 11 miles south of Haswell. All of these lakes have perfect places for camping, picnicking, sailboating, windsurfing, and many other recreational activities.
Kiowa County is an outstanding place for hunting and wildlife watching. Antelope, deer, ducks, and geese are found on the plains and near the lakes. In November, during the annual Mixed Bag Hunt, guides help teams bag goose, duck, ring-necked pheasant, and bobwhite quail. Wildlife watchers can see and photograph antelope, deer, elk, the piping plover, least tern, hawks, and eagles.
The lakes of Kiowa County are regularly stocked by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. This provides bass, bullhead, channel catfish, carp, walleye, and hybrid wiper for excellent fishing. Bass and walleye fishing tournaments are held annually at Neegronda and Neenoshe reservoir. Eads offers two parks, two ball fields, a swimming pool, outdoor basketball goals, a shooting range, and a nine-hole public golf course.

Other attractions include the Kiowa County Historical Museum, Sand Creek Massacre Site, nation's smallest jail, Brandon Canal, Towner bus tragedy (1931) marker, and Woelk Park.
