No Fireworks allowed on Geary State Fishing Lake property.
Geary State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area is 10 miles south of Junction City. The 99-acre lake is surrounded by 180 acres of public hunting land which harbors good numbers of quail, pheasant, doves, squirrels, rabbits, white-tailed deer, beaver, muskrats, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats and numerous nongame birds and animals. The lake also serves as a stopover area for migrating waterfowl in the fall and spring. Several food plots are maintained each year to provide winter food for birds and other wildlife.
The lake is an excellent clear lake. The lake has been stocked with largemouth bass, walleye, saugeye, channel catfish, flathead catfish, bluegill and crappie.
The lake and public hunting area are open year round. Picnic tables, fireplace grills and camping areas are available for public use.
A summer burn was conducted at Geary State Fishing Lake on July 24th. The purpose of this burn was to reduce encroachment of woody vegetation, reduce noxious weeds and aide in clearing brush off of the dam. KDOT had large brush piles within the burn area as well from clearing the trees along the roadside of Highway 77. The growing season was deemed a safer time to burn these piles then a spring burn.
This waterfall is actually the spillway of Geary State Fishing Lake. Only in times of excess rain fall does it flow this well.
There are many shelters with picnic tables throughout the camping area. Several of these shelters also have fire rings with grills on them.
