Kansas State ParksAs the weather warms up, it’s time to get outdoors! Whatever your interest is, Kansas has a state park just right for you.

Kansas State Parks, available as a free PDF download from the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, makes it easy to decide which park to tackle first. A map lets you see at a glance where the parks are located, and icons show you which parks can accommodate your favorite outdoor activities:

  • Hiking.
  • Horseback riding.
  • Nature viewing.
  • Camping.
  • Fishing.
  • Hunting.
  • Archery.
  • And more!

Learn a little bit about the history of each park, what facilities and accommodations to expect, and what kinds of wildlife to watch for. Some entries even have tips for exploring the surrounding area.

Check our bookshelf or the KDWPT website periodically for revised editions of the guide. KDWPT updates the PDF from time to time as the park system evolves.

A handy general resource for planning your trip. Need more information? Check out our guide to Kansas state parks.
