Milford Lake - Junction City, Kansas
This is Kansas’ largest man made lake great for fishing, camping, hunting, hiking and boating.
The 15,700 surface acres of water and 163 miles of shoreline are a welcoming environment for outdoor activities. Over 33,000 acres of land resources are managed for quality recreational experiences as well as for protection of the project’s natural and cultural resources. Approximately 70% of the land resources are available for public hunting.
There are numerous boat ramps for easy access to the lake. There are also cabins and campsites for those that want to stay for more than a day.
Waterfall Trail - A 0.6 mile walk that leads you through woodland and prairie habitats. A manmade waterfall and pond is located at the trailhead.
Crystal Trail - This trail is 2.2 miles. It passes by an old quarry where small geode rocks can be found. Deer viewing is good along open fields and by food plots. Viewing of bald eagles is excellent from November through March along the water’s edge.
