The nature trail is located at the intersections of Highways 36 and 25 on the far west end of Lake Atwood. Nature lovers and hikers will enjoy walking the winding trail while observing birds and other wildlife. Along the ¾ mile trail, there is an observation tower, benches and interpretative signs highlighting wildlife, plant species and history of the trail and lake. The goal of the OWLS Program is to foster an appreciation of nature, as well as to inspire citizens to cooperate in protecting natural resources and wildlife habitat.

Established in 1967, the Rawlins County Museum in Atwood, Kansas is the Headquarters for the Rawlins County Historical Society.

The Rawlins County Museum depicts rural Kansas history. In large part it is a collection of items with little to explain what they were or their context. As with many of the historical museums in Kansas, there are recreations of a beauty parlor, post office, doctors office, dentists office and a schoolroom.

Other displays at the Rawlins County Museum include items from the life of former Kansas Governor and Atwood native Mike Hayden, clocks, cameras, tools, and Hopi kachina dolls.

The thing that sets Atwood, Kansas' Rawlins County Museum apart from other museums is a mural and other art by Rudolph Wendelin, a Rawlin's County native who was responsible for the art design of the Smoky Bear program for 30 years. Smokey Bear was born on August 9, 1944, when the United States Forest Service and the Ad Council decided the fictional bear would be the symbol for their joint effort to promote forest fire prevention.
