New listing
Venango Park Campground is located on the eastern shores of Kanopolis Lake in central Kansas, 30 miles southwest of Salina. Kanopolis Lake is on the Smoky Hill River, and is one of the state's oldest lakes. Many outdoor activities are available, including camping, boating, fishing, hunting and ATV riding. Kanopolis Lake offers great boating and fishing opportunities with plenty of bluegill, channel catfish, white crappie, flathead catfish, largemouth bass, saugeye, walleye and wiper, and trout are stocked seasonally. The Venango Park ATV Trail crisscrosses roughly 5 acres of land within the park, making this a popular destination for ATV and motorcycle enthusiasts. Venango Park also offers a 1.7-mile hiking-only trail that meanders throughout the park, covering different ecosystems that can be found in the area including forests, grasslands and wetlands — keep an eye out for the different flora and fauna that can be found in each. Kanopolis State Park also has trails available for hiking, bicycling and equestrian riders. Venango Park offers a total of 132 facilities: 126 campsites, 5 day use shelters and 1 group camp. The campsites are a mixture of electric with water, electric only, primitive and double sites. Other amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, showers, a dump station, boat ramp, beach, playground and nature trail. The campground is situated on the shady tree-dotted shoreline. Sandstone bluffs, rolling hills, and vast, open prairie lands surround the lake. Wildlife is varied and abundant in the area: whitetail deer, pheasants, quail, Texas horned lizards, beavers and even bald eagles are commonly seen, and waterfowl extensively gather at Loder Point Marsh located within the campground. Wildflowers including purple poppy mallow, blue false indigo, yucca and prairie wild rose put on a colorful display in the prairies surrounding the lake. The Fort Harker Museum in Kanopolis and the Rogers Art Gallery and Museum in Ellsworth both portray the settlement of the American West. The Kanopolis Drive-In theater is just a short drive away, and is open most weekend evenings.
