Scott State Fishing Lake is a large natural area in western Kansas, with over a thousand acres of land reserved for camping, hunting, and fishing. There is even an original settlers’ house on the property for history buffs, originally owned by the Herbert Steele family who lived on and worked the land for generations before donating it to the state. On this property is Scott State Fishing Lake, a small spring fed lake that is full of walleye, saugeye,sunfish, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and crappie. During trout season, visitors can acquire a permit to fish for trout.
