Review & FAQ:
Located just a 40 mile drive from Topeka, and a slightly longer but still completely reasonable 85 mile drive from Kansas City, Melvern Lake has three swimming beaches perfect for an afternoon spent sunbathing on the sand or splashing in the shallow waters of the shoreline. Melvern Lake is on the edge of Eisenhower State Park, as well as the Melvern Wildlife Area so there is plenty to do on land, from hiking and bird watching to camping. Melvern Lake is home to a bountiful population of fish including sunfish, channel and flathead catfish, bluegill, sauger, large and smallmouth bass, walleye, and crappie, and the lake is popular with boaters for fishing and recreational purposes alike.
