The lake at East Park is under a harmful algal bloom warning. Swim beach areas are closed, and motorized boating is not allowed. Canoeing and kayaking are allowed. Fishing is allowed, but clean fish well with potable water and only eat fillet portion. For more information on harmful algal blooms, visit the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's website.
Enjoy the serenity of fishing and the unrivaled thrill of a bite on the line at all three of our County parks - Camp Hawk, East Park and West Park.
All prospective fishers are welcome to fish all day in our parks after obtaining a State of Kansas fishing license. Acquiring a fishing license is easy, and can be done online or at several locations in Harvey County, including at the seasonal bait shops at East Park and West Park or the county courthouse.
Before setting out to cast a line, be sure to visit our East Park and West Park bait shop. Along with fishing poles, bait and other tools, the bait shops also have food, beverages and camping essentials.
