KDWP leases fishing rights at more than two hundred community lakes across Kansas, opening the door to convenient, well‑managed angling close to home.

Even better, more than 90% of these lakes offer free fishing access to anyone with a Kansas State Fishing License. When you spot the CFAP logo at the entrance of a community lake, it’s your green light to grab your gear, hit the water, and enjoy a hassle‑free day of fishing.

Whether you’re exploring a new spot or returning to a favorite local lake, CFAP makes it easy to get out and fish.
