Anglers will find walleye, crappie, channel and flathead catfish, as well as black, striped, white and smallmouth bass.
The 18,000 acres of land surrounding Melvern Lake provide plentiful hiking and hunting opportunities. Several trails wind around the lake, including the 4-mile Tallgrass Heritage Trail, which begins in the campground. Hunters may find deer, quail, turkeys, ducks, rabbits and squirrels throughout the area.

Natural Features
The Flint Hills represent America’s last expanse of intact tallgrass prairie, made up of big bluestem, switchgrass and Indian grass. The rolling hills on the south side of the lake are wooded, but trees and shade are more sparse within the campground.

Book This Park
Electric hookups are available, though water and sewer are shared — a good balance of convenience and simplicity. Tree cover keeps sites shaded and cool, and the forest backdrop makes it easy to feel away from it all. Fire pits or grills at each site make evenings around the campfire a natural end to the day.
