Overview
A brief introduction to Kanopolis State Park
Kanopolis State Park contains a reservoir, desert plants such as yucca, a prairie dog town, and scenic sandstone canyons. It is located in the Smoky Hills region of the U.S. state of Kansas. The park is located southwest of the city of Salina, just south of I-70.
The park, completed in 1948, includes more than 22,000 acres (89 km2) of rolling hills, bluffs and woods and a 3000 acre (12 km2) lake, offering hunting, fishing, over 25 miles (40 km) of trails, and other recreational activities. Game includes pheasant, quail, prairie chickens, deer, beaver, wild turkey, squirrels, rabbits, coyotes and waterfowl; fishing for white bass and crappie is popular. A small, outlier population of western diamondback rattlesnake is present in the park.

Camper reviews for Kanopolis State Park
Worth the effort to find!
A bit difficult to find the state park portion of the lake. Signage could be improved. Maps at the office did not list campsites. Plus our reservation did not mention the Langley loop which contained the Sandstone campsite. Once we were there, great campsite overlooking the lake, #408.
