El Dorado

State Park & Reservoir

El Dorado State Park’s 4,000 acres makes it Kansas’ largest. Yet you can be as secluded or social as you like amid landscapes that range from classic Flint Hills prairie to mature woodlands.

Those who loath crowds have nearly 30 miles of trails for horses, hikers and bikers. Campgrounds, some with cabins, often sit with lakeshore a few steps away.

Fishing can be good from shore or a boat. The park has a nice archery range. A state-of-the-art firearms range is set to open soon.
