Marion Reservoir, Kansas

Looking for a memorable addition to your middle-of-the-USA vacation? Marion Reservoir is the place to beat the heat, catch some rays, and maybe even some fish! Sport fish in the lake include crappie, walleye, white bass, wiper, largemouth bass, and flathead catfish. You’ll also find two official swimming beaches, numerous boat ramps, four parks with campgrounds, and a short nature trail. Chillin’ on the shore is a fine way to spend the day, but if you’ve got access to a boat, you can ramp up the adventure in a big way. Either way, this one’s a keeper.
