Kansas is home to some stunning state parks and it is almost impossible to choose just one that is the best. However, Milford State Park, located in the small town of Milford, is at the top of the list. This state park is a nature lover’s paradise with a long list of activities, some of the most gorgeous views you will find in the Sunflower State, and excellent camping areas.
Milford State Park is located along the shore of Milford Reservoir. This is the largest lake in Kansas.
Not only will boaters love to spend their day on the water, but the lake is a popular fishing destination. Anglers of all ages can catch catfish, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, and more.
If you want to get away from the crowds and enjoy some solitude, explore one of the three hiking trails in Milford State Park in Kansas. These trails range in length from 0.6 miles to 2.3 miles.
