Finding scenic water spots can be difficult in the arid plains of southwestern Kansas. But Clark State Fishing Lake, in Clark County, is actually one of the state’s most scenic bodies of water.
Hidden in a deep canyon, Clark State Lake is “a sparkling jewel of a lake that looks like it belongs in a state such as Utah or New Mexico,” says The Kansas City Star.
While the fish aren’t usually large, the area is also known for pheasants, quail and deer. And as the water levels have risen since 2013, the fish are growing larger and more abundant.
