Located on the Big Blue River in the Flint Hills of Kansas, Tuttle Creek Lake was constructed in the 1950s as a dry dam, but as time went on there became a demand for recreational lakes, so today Tuttle Creek Lake is the second largest lake in Kansas. There are eleven parks along the 100 or so miles of shoreline of Tuttle Creek Lake, and each has something great to offer like campsites, picnic shelters, volleyball courts, and trails for hiking, biking, equestrians, or even off roading. The lake itself, which is 14 miles long, is great for boating, and a sunny day at Tuttle Creek will often find hundreds of day trippers enjoying the water in their boats or kayaks.
