Kanopolis State Park is a 2,000-acre state park and wildlife sanctuary amid the rolling hills, bluffs, and woods of the Smoky Hills in eastern Ellsworth County. Located southwest of Salina, the park is home to a 3,500-acre reservoir, which offers pleasure boating, fishing for white bass and crappie, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. The surrounding shoreline offers excellent hiking on over 25 miles of trails, camping, bird and wildlife watching and seasonal hunting and facilities such as a marina, equestrian rentals, campgrounds, and overnight cabins. Hiking trails include the enthralling 1.5-mile Buffalo Track Nature Trail, which is rich in native plants and wildlife, as well as Native American history.
