| Hidden in the western Kansas prairie, Scott State Park is a startling oasis of natural springs, deep wooded canyons, & craggy bluffs. The 1,020-acre park surrounds the 100-acre, springfed Scott State Fishing Lake .
Rich in history, this park provides an ideal setting for camping, boating, swimming, hiking, hunting, fishing, & wildlife observation. Hunting is allowed at the adjacent public hunting area. The Steele home , the dwelling of the original settlers on the area, has been preserved much as it was 100 years ago. The park also boasts the northernmost pueblo in the U. S. - El Cuartelejo .
The park has 55 utility campsites, including some with 50-amp service & H2O hookups. Three modern shower buildings, 100 primitive campsites & several vault toilets are also available.
