Milford State Park

About this park

Milford State Park sits on the southeast shore of Milford Reservoir, the largest lake in Kansas at nearly 16,000 surface acres and 163 miles of shoreline, making it a significant destination for boating and water recreation in the north-central part of the state. The reservoir's scale supports a level of marina and boating infrastructure not matched by most other Kansas lake parks. Eight separate campgrounds and ten rental cabins spread around the park give visitors a wide choice of settings, and dedicated equestrian facilities support horse camping and riding trails, a less common amenity among Kansas state parks. A splash park adds a family-friendly water feature beyond the main reservoir itself. Nearby, the Milford Fish Hatchery and an associated nature center extend the park's appeal beyond typical camping and boating, offering educational programming on fisheries management and native wildlife. Together, the scale of the reservoir and the breadth of nearby facilities make Milford one of the more complete recreational destinations in the Kansas state park system.
