Sandy Park

Sandy Park Campground is located just below the Kaw Lake Dam. This campground is rural, quiet, wooded, and provides both sunny and shaded sites. Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the beautiful trails along the eastern shore. The Eagle View Hiking Trail is approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing, and the Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Hunters' skills are tested with excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese, and during the winter visitors are likely to spot migrating bald eagles, as Kaw Lake has one of the biggest populations in the state. The campground offers 12 campsites with modern amenities like electric hookups, drinking water and flush toilets. A boat ramp provides easy access to the Arkansas River. The area holds several historical sites, including several Native American settlements, archeological sites and the Pioneer Woman Museum.
