Our favorite body of water gives the joy of being able to go fishing, swimming, boating and so much more. Some of us remember a time before the lake while others; this is all we have known. Do you know how our beautiful lake was made?
Our great lake was completed in 1964 with the completion of the Wilson Dam. The dam was built in the Saline River with a primary use for flood control. Since its completion, people have been enjoying the lake and its surrounding areas as a way to spend time outdoors.
Wilson Lake is said to be the clearest lake in Kansas. With over 100 miles of shoreline and 9,000 surface acres of water there is much room to enjoy all that this lake has to offer. In fact, our lake is considered one of the most scenic and better fishing areas in Kansas.
Our lake is the leading recreational resource for many surrounding communities and is recognized for its outdoor activities. It is also noted for its premier striped bass and smallmouth bass fishing. How do you enjoy Wilson Lake?
