Crawford State Park

Crawford State Park is a natural area in Kansas centered around a lake with hiking trails throughout the grounds. The park includes six campgrounds, five cabins for overnight stays, and two boat ramps for water access.

The lake was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s and is also known as Farlington Lake. This project was part of a larger government initiative to create jobs and outdoor recreation areas.

Two archaeological sites within the park boundaries contain remnants of a 19th-century United States military outpost, preserving local heritage.

The park has bathing facilities, hiking trails of varying difficulty, and places for fishing and boating. Visitors should bring appropriate clothing based on the season, as weather and conditions can vary considerably.

The grounds contain archaeological sites that recall a 19th-century military outpost in the area. These historical remnants show how the region was used before the park was created.
