Glen Elder State Park Description

Located just west of the city of Glen Elder, south of the US-24/K-9 and KS128 intersection. On the north shores of 12,500-acre Glen Elder Reservoir (Waconda Lake), one of Kansas' largest lakes, Glen Elder State Park offers nearly unlimited recreational opportunities. With its rural setting, Glen Elder is a perfect place to relax. The reservoir covers what once was a mineral spring sacred to many Native Americans and former home of a sanitarium.
