Activities at Milford Lake include boating, swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing and biking. Milford Lake is known to have great sail boating opportunities as well. Milford Lake is nestled on the edge of the Kansas Flint Hills and is fed by the Republican River. It stands as the largest man-made lake in Kansas, with a surface area of 15,700 acres and 163 miles of shoreline, and is home to the state's third largest wetland and a variety of wildlife. The Milford Nature Center and Fish Hatchery is nearby just below the dam. There you can find live animal exhibits as well as learn about the ecosystems of Kansas. A golf course is adjacent to the nature center on the north end of the dam, and the town of Junction City is approximately five miles from North Overlook Shelter.
