Kansas is not a state that is naturally rich in lakes, but over the 20th century especially, many reservoirs were constructed in the state to prevent floods, create power, and provide drinking water for its citizens. Today, there are over 120,000 reservoirs in Kansas, and many of them serve recreational purposes as well as functional. Visitors and locals alike will enjoy the varied lakes stocked with walleye, catfish, and bass, the sandy beaches at their shores, and the massive parks full of trails and wildlife that border these pieces of natural paradise.
