Cool lake close to home in Andover. Great for a nice day out.
Hosts did seem overly concerned with making sure we paid as we drove up.
Don't get me wrong it is a decent well kept tiny lake. Has a nice swim beach great for "family time". We have nicknamed this lake "Santa Fee" because there literally is a "fee" for everything. From the moment you drive in you are bombarded with signs stating "PERMIT REQUIRED!" and "ALCOHOL PROHIBITED!". What? No booze at a lake? And yes they enforce this. The lady at the front desk is very nice and friendly. The guy however that drives his little go cart around morning, noon, and night making sure everyone has all their "permits", and is NOT having fun, is a real downer. I've been going here since a kid and will not be returning. And yes you read correctlyNO ALCOHOL!
We had a wonderful stay at one of the tent sites here. The grounds were incredibly clean and well maintained. The lake and sunset/sunrise were absolutely beautiful. The park hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, and even dropped off the firewood we purchased at our site for us. Thanks so much! (And thank you for the "Lemon" cucumbers!)
Everything is alright. I have been there more times I can remember. Except for the new guy on the office. He is a total douche bag. Yelling on my face the second I showed up. We all decided to leave and never come back because of him. He needs to get laid or shoot to the stars. I'm not paying money to deal with a long face. I miss the old man who was nice to everybody.
Great place to stop and relax. Gorgeous view from the RV spots. Lake side RV sites, RV dump is by the office, kinda high from the ground. For when lake level rises above normal levels. Hopefully they will add a mound of dirt next to dump station to help with the people who don't have a flipped axle for extra clearance like my trailer does.
Really wanted to stay longer. Was a great hidden spot of beauty. See pictures with the white tundra.
A great place to enjoy family time. Swimming, fishing 🐟🐠🐳🐋, ⛵ boating and much much more. Don't be scared to pitch a ⛺ tent and stay awhile. Promise you'll leave with smiles.
Great place with just about all you need to have a good time! Very quiet little place, I've been here A LOT and I've never seen it with more than 2 people there. The waterfall is amazing, and a MUST-SEE, but only after a good rain. Both types of camping sites are great and the fishing is even better! The lady in the office that helped us was SO nice and answered all of our stupid questions, very helpful. By far my favorite lake, ever.
Had a nice preseason camp-out. They have four or six 'primitive' sites ($10) and some with hook-ups ($20) with only the short loop road open, the second (north) drive is barricaded with no access to 80% of the lake!
It has a great view
If you just plan to take a hike don't go here. There are plenty of free hiking/biking trails in and around Wichita. It's only a mile and a half but they still charge a fee.
This place is just absolutely amazing and great place to go hike
Awesome little Lake to avoid the huge crowds at other lakes in Kansas.
