Horsethief Reservoir can be found in Jetmore, Kansas, right in the middle of the state. In the 1990s, the manager of the Pawnee Watershed District decided to start working on the project, and in 2008 construction began on the Horsethief Reservoir dam. The Reservoir officially opened in the summer of 2010 and allowed people to boat and fish on the water, and since that time, over 50 campsites, two cabins, two yurts, and an 18-hole frisbee golf course have opened at Horsethief Reservoir. If you are looking for an incredible sunrise to remember, the one at Horsethief Reservoir is the one for you.
If you are trying to catch the sunrise at Horsethief Reservoir, camping out will give you the best chance (and the most sleep.) All you’ll have to do to see a breathtaking sunrise is roll out of bed.
