Wilson Lake

Wilson Lake, one of the best lakes to visit in Kansas, Kansas's purest lake, is located in the Smoky Hills of Central Kansas. It's breathtaking to see the prairie landscapes and the rolling hills that surround the shimmering lake. Although it was first constructed for flood management, this lake is now a well-liked recreation area. Management of wildlife is another use for it.

The largest of the four state parks that line the lake's shore is Wilson State Park. You can find everything here, from swimming beaches to hiking trails, camping supplies to boat ramps.

The Rocktown Natural Area is located in Lucas Park, which is on the northeastern portion of the 3,660-hectare lake. Additionally, it has boat ramps, swimming beaches, and hiking trails.
