Recreation Opportunities

Tuttle Creek Lake’s 11 parks, marina, 12,350 acres of water and 20,000 acres of land provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation activities. Camping, sightseeing, fishing, boating, and picnicking are favorite activities.

Bald eagles, white-tailed deer, Canada geese, wild turkeys, crappie, walleye, channel catfish and other wildlife can be found at Tuttle Creek Lake. The lake’s fish and wildlife resources provide sightseers, anglers, and hunters ample opportunities for their sports.

Eleven parks have been developed for public recreation. Six are managed by the Corps of Engineers, four state parks are managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, and one park is managed by Pottawatomie County. Recreation facilities include boat ramps, courtesy docks, campgrounds, swim beaches, picnic areas and playgrounds. A marina concession area provides a full line of marina services.
