| State Park Overview: |
| Land Acquisition: The Kansas Fish & Game Commission purchased 506 acres in 1955.
Area Description: The area is being used as a combination wildlife and fishing area. Construction of an earthen dam created a lake approximately 140 acres in size. The remaining 366 acres consist mainly of tall grass prairie with numerous wooded draws and slopes. Soils are thin with rock layers below much of the area. Camping, fishing piers, fish feeders, boat ramp and dock are provided for fishermen on the west side of the lake. Channel catfish are the most fished for species, additional species include black bass, crappie and wiper. |

Slot limit
On the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks website, there is not a slot limit for Black Bass. There is only the minimum length limit of 18 inches. On this web site, it says *Black bass - Creel Limit: 2 per day, Length Limit: 13-18 inch slot.
