The only state park in southwest Kansas, Meade State Park is an oasis in the shortgrass prairie region of the state.

The park comprises 440 acres of land and recreational facilities ( Camp Map) situated around the 80-acre Meade State Fishing Lake.

Nature trails offer visitors an up close look at the shortgrass prairie ecosystem. Utility and primitive camping, day use areas, swimming beach, and boating and fishing access make this a popular destination. Campgrounds provide 42 water/electric utility sites and 150 primitive campsites.

The lake invites anglers to sample excellent fishing for bluegill, channel cat, crappie and largemouth bass. No skiing or pleasure boating is allowed; boats must be used for fishing purposes only.

The adjacent 360-acre wildlife area, although modestly sized, offers good opportunities for dove and quail hunters. Deer, turkey, rabbit and squirrel also inhabit the area and offer hunters an occasional mixed bag. Deer may be hunted only with bow or muzzleloader firearms.
