Kill Creek Park Lake — Attraction in Kansas

Christian find out what all licenses are needed before fishing any body of water. Being a Johnson County Parks lake you will need the Johnson county fishing permit on top of them Kansas State fishing license. Also if you plan on fishing for trout you will need to get the Johnson county trout permit but not a Kansas State trout stamp. The park police have always been very understanding everytime ive ever seen them interact with anyone and normally when someone doesn't have the correct licenses they offer to sell them one or offer to let them stop fishing until they obtain one. The only time ive ever seen them issue a ticket is when someone is being rude with them about the situation. With that said nobody should come here for fishing ever. It's awful lol go to Shawnee mission park...

Beautiful place to spend time with family and friends over barbecue on the grill. Sunset and the evening sky makes it romantic. We saw a big rattle snake too, guest appearance to our party 😀 I hiked around the lake and it was around 2.5miles , upto an extent the hike is stroller friendly but not fully. Don’t forget to take wrench for water tap since we forgot ours. If you love fishing then this is a good place to do. We were in shelter 1 , it was very private covered by trees around, however the bathroom is far from it and you need a car to go. Shelter 2 is the best with lake nearby and bathrooms too. Good place for children with play area. There’s also a Observation tower...

Convenient boat ramp and accessible parking lot for launching kayaks and fishing boats. There’s a dock next to the boat ramp, too, which can be fished from. There’s also a small sandy beach, but it isn’t always open for swimming, so I recommend checking ahead to see if it’s open.

A walking trail goes around the lake and there’s benches along the waterfront for sitting and bird watching. Great variety of wildlife; I’ve seen turtles, frogs, lots of Blue Herons and big fish that have been known to breach the surface to get at dragonflies flying above the water.

Perfect little lake for a day trip...
