Harvey County East Park offers 1,300 sprawling acres of

family fun on the edge of the Flint Hills, 6 miles east of

Newton.

A 314-acre lake blends its tree-lined shady shores with an

abundance of space for fishing, swimming, boating and

personal watercraft. The lake offers the angler a variety of

fishing options

including channel

cat, walleye,

saugeye, white

bass, largemouth

bass and crappie.

Campgrounds

surround all

around the water,

with a variety of electric hookups and primitive sites.

Playgrounds, a softball diamond and sand volleyball courts

are all in close proximity to camping areas. Three restrooms

– two of which are bathhouses – are available for patrons,

one in each main camping area.

Boating opportunities on the lake include water skiing,

pleasure boating, canoeing and kayaking, and of course,

fishing. Due to the size of the lake, there is a designated ski

route for pleasure boating and personal watercraft that

must be followed by all vessels, regardless of size. Canoes

and kayaks must remain in no-wake areas.

In addition, there are three swimming beaches, a climate-

controlled shelter (Volunteer Hall) and several open air

shelters for rent, and a mix of trails perfect for walking,

running, biking and horseback riding. The Osage Nature Trail

is also the home of the Indigent Persons Memorial.

Visitors are welcome to come and enjoy the various trails,

fishing opportunities, beaches and picnic areas at the park.

All State of Kansas fishing license requirements and

regulations are

enforced. Pleasure

boating, horseback

riding and camping

are subject to fees.

Daily or seasonal

permits for these

activities can be

purchased at the

self-service booths located throughout the park or at the

park office. Seasonal permits are valid April 1 through

November 15.

Park Rangers are available for assistance and to answer

questions year-round. During the camping season Camp

Hosts are available 24/7.

of both U.S. Highway 50 and I-135, Camp Hawk partners

recreation opportunities with spacious grounds to bring together

friends and family.

Camp Hawk is the only Harvey County park to feature a disc golf

course. The course winds throughout the park, providing a

The cabin-style shelter building at Camp Hawk can be rented

for social gatherings. The facility can host around 100 peo-

ple, and includes heating and air conditioning as well as a wood-

burning fireplace, restrooms and a kitchen equipped with a

Camp Hawk visitors can also enjoy a playground, softball

diamond and outdoor, lighted basketball court. RV campsites are

limited, but do offer full hookups. There is plenty of room for

primitive camping. Camping is subject to a fee. Daily and

seasonal camping permits are available at the self-service booth

located just south of the rental shelter. Seasonal camping

permits are valid from April 1 to November 15.
