CLARK STATE FISHING LAKE AND WILDLIFE AREA
CLARK STATE FISHING LAKE AND WILDLIFE AREA
Clark Wildlife Area is located in an extremely scenic setting of canyon country and is surrounded by 900 acres of public hunting. Camping, picnicking and fishing are allowed throughout the area.
The public hunting area of Clark State Fishing Lake is fairly small compared to other hunting areas around federal reservoirs, therefore it will not sustain extensive use. Still, there is potential for hunting whitetail and mule deer, turkey, quail, doves, cottontail rabbits and waterfowl. Furbearers are present on the area and some trapping is available for beaver, raccoon, coyote and bobcat.
Clark State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area offers excellent opportunities for persons who enjoy wildlife photography or simply observing a wide variety of game and non-game wildlife. Turkey vultures frequent the area during the summer and nest in the cliffs on the area. Bald eagles often migrate through the area in fall and winter months.
Clark State Fishing Lake contains good populations of largemouth bass, walleye, white bass, channel catfish, crappie, bluegill and carp. Channel catfish and walleye are stocked yearly to maintain these populations. Walleye numbers are moderate with fish collected up to nine pounds. The white bass populations continues to increase and there are good numbers of 1 to 2 pounders. Crappie numbers are moderate with lots of quarter to half pound fish. Special length and creel limits may be in effect for some fish species. Check all posted notices and the Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary before fishing.
