Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Situated 14 miles north of Scott City in western Kansas, Lake Scott State Park is definitely a must-see destination for visitors. Here you can enjoy a large variety of outdoor pursuits as well as explore some of the best archeological sites in the state, against a backdrop of impressive scenery, dotted with natural springs, towering rock outcrops, and deeply carved gorges.

Hikers, bikers, and equestrians can enjoy several trails or you can rent a canoe or paddleboat to enjoy the lake. There is great wildlife watching all over the park and you can spend some time visiting the remains of the northern-most Native American pueblo – El Cuartelejo, which is a National Historic Landmark.
