El Dorado State Park
The Kansas Department of Transportation will shut down the bridge on East 12th Avenue over the Walnut River, South of El Dorado Lake on Monday June 1st.
Drivers should use U.S. Highway 54, Kansas Highway 177, Northeast 10th Street and Northeast Shady Creek Access Road. Those who wish to visit the west side of the El Dorado Lake will need to take North Main St. (Highway 77) North from El Dorado to Myers Rd to enter the park. Learn more about the closure.
El Dorado State Park is located 3 miles east of El Dorado, Kansas on Hwy 54 and 1 mile north.
One of the top state parks in America based on fishing, boating and family fun, El Dorado State Park is conveniently located at the edge of the Flint Hills near three state highways and an interstate (the Kansas Turnpike). With about 2,000 acres of park and 4,000 acres of wildlife area surrounding 8,000 acres of water with 98 miles of shoreline, there are plenty of opportunities to explore this premier lake destination.
A variety of trails are available in the State Park - hiking trails, biking trails and horse trails which include hitching posts on the shoreline and campsites with corrals and other equestrian amenities. Steep, rocky shorelines, old river channels, submerged railroad beds and dead standing timber beckon a variety of sportfish popular in Kansas along with the anglers that seek them. Wildlife enthusiasts can see a wide range of small mammals, white-tailed deer, songbirds, game birds and waterfowl.
