Pomona State Park

About this park

Pomona State Park occupies 490 acres on the south shore of Pomona Lake in Osage County, an area with historical connections to the Santa Fe Trail and close enough to Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City to draw steady weekend visitation from all three. The park is well known among campers for its shaded, comfortable campsites and family-friendly atmosphere, and a full-service marina supports anglers and boaters with bait, tackle, and food. Four hiking trails weave through the park, connecting to a combined eight miles of pathways, with the ADA-accessible Hedge-Wood Trail designated a "Healthy Kansas Trail" for its fitness-tracking features. Pomona also sits near the 117-mile Flint Hills Trail, a long-distance rail-trail that draws cyclists passing through the region, and this connection, combined with the park's shaded campgrounds and marina, makes Pomona a versatile stop for both dedicated campers and travelers passing through on the trail.
