Lawson Lake — Attraction in Excelsior Springs

The tent side is not bad. The lake itself for a bank fisher is horrible.. The dock is very nice but 2 feet from it, is a log or something in the water that snags every single time you throw out. Moved to the rocky area after loosing 5 weights and hooks. Moved to to the rock side both sides have moss so thick you cant get threw it. Then bam snagged on something else. Every single throw i lost weights and hook. I dont recommed fishing here tell the logs or whatever...

We used to call it The Tank Pond.

Was that too country?

This facility has gone a long way since its tank pond or local reservoir days. It is now truly a place for all ages to go and escape into nature with a walking trail, picnic areas, covered tables, and places to simply sit and take...

We use to enjoy camping since it has opened. We always have high marks. But the host that is running it now is pure hateful. Not friendly at all. We left early and plan to venture to others from now on. It’s about the host to enjoy a visit....
