Toronto Lake
Toronto Lake is a reservoir that is located in the southeastern corner of Kansas, along the
Verdigris River valley, and is part of Cross Timbers State Park.Located twelve miles west of Yates Center, this 2,800 acre reservoir is a fisherman's paradise of channel catfish, flathead catfish, black bass, bluegill, crappie, walleye and sunfish. In fact, this lake is rated number one for crappie fishing in the state. The best places to catch crappie are in Mann's Cove, Walnut Creek and off the handicap fishing pier in Toronto Point. There are several boat ramps located around the lake for easy access that can now accommodate deeper boats.
CampingToronto Lake offers primitive campsites, RV sites and rustic cabins are available for those who wish to stay near the lake. Cabins can be reserved up to a year in advance, and you must bring your own bedding, soap and towels.

The Chautauqua Hills Trail is comprised of four connecting loops that offer spectacular prairie and woodland scenic views.In Woodson Cove, there is the Overlook Trail.

The Blackjack Trail offers opportunities to observe native wildlife like deer, turkey and other creatures. The Oak Ridge Trail is great for novices, and leads you through a mixed forest of post oak, blackjack oak, American elm, red cedar, red bud, and dogwood. A naturalist is available in the summer to provide interpretive programs on the weekends. Year-round, there are plenty of places to "get away from it all" and observe nature.
