Overview

About

Welcome to the largest man-made lake in Kansas, where you’ll find almost 16,000 surface acres of the best fishing in the state. If that’s not enough to draw you in, how about 11 parks for camping, picnicking, and swimming, a huge wetland area for viewing birds and wildlife, a nature center and fish hatchery, and even a full-service marina. Milford Lake is one of the most popular recreational destinations in Kansas, but there’s so much room to spread out, you would never know it. Hitch up your RV or your boat, or maybe both, and make tracks to this Great Plains paradise.
