Woodridge Park
Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers
New listing
Woodridge Park has 450 acres for hiking and primitive, walk-in camping. Tent camping is allowed throughout the park and along the 4.5-mile George Latham hiking trail, which is intended for the novice hiker or backpacker. Campfires are allowed at designated locations only. Please remember that the trail is reserved for low-impact activities, and any trash packed into the park must be packed out. Amenities include over 50 primitive campsites, trail access, a two-stall vault toilet, picnic tables, gravel roads and parking lots, a dumpster and a potable water spigot. Woodridge Park is one of several areas managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Clinton Lake. Located on the northwest shore of the lake, it encompasses 454 acres of oak/hickory associated forests consisting of burr oak, elm, black walnut, ash, hackberry, shagbark hickory, honey locust and Osage orange trees. Over 150 acres of the park has been converted to native grasses such as big and little bluestem and Indian grass. With abundant wildlife such as red fox, bobcat, coyote, white-tailed deer and various species of waterfowl, the George Latham trail provides excellent opportunities for bird watching and nature activities. Clinton Lake's wooded shoreline, clean water and native grass fields provide a beautiful setting for recreation in Kansas, and shoreline development has been limited in an effort to preserve as much of the natural setting as possible. The Visitor Center, located on the northwest side of the dam, has several informative displays covering topics such as the history of the area, the reasons for the dam and the wildlife in the area. The Clinton Lake Museum, located within Bloomington East Park, covers topics like the history of the region and the Underground Railroad. The cities of Lawrence and Topeka are within a 30-minute drive.
