Meade State Park

Meade State Park is a state-managed natural area covering about 800 acres in Meade County, with a lake of roughly 80 acres at its center. The lake is stocked with fish and surrounded by open grounds and trees that give the park its character.

The park was established in 1927 from land that was once part of the Turkey Track Ranch to provide outdoor recreation for Kansas residents. This conversion marked an early effort to create public outdoor spaces in the state.

The park serves as a central gathering place for outdoor activities, with designated areas for hunting dove and quail, plus spaces for wildlife observation.

The park provides campsites with utility connections and primitive camping options distributed throughout the grounds. It is wise to check conditions and availability before visiting, especially if you have specific accommodation needs.

A fish hatchery facility sits west of the lake and operates from April through June, demonstrating fish breeding in controlled tanks. This breeding program reflects ongoing efforts to maintain fish populations in the area.
