CHASE COUNTY STATE LAKE
by Gerald Horak
The citizens of Chase County donated approximately 400 acres of land to the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission for the construction of a lake and recreation area. The lake was
built in 1954 at a cost of $72,217.90. The lake has
a surface area of 109 acres and an average depth
of 18 feet. The drainage area of the lake is 2,400
acres.
The lake produces catches of largemouth bass,
channel, catfish, white bass, crappie, biuegill and
bullheads. It has a swimming beach, boat ramp,
camping and picnic facilites. The new improvements include three fishing piers projecting into
the water 75 feet, eight new picnic tables with
plastic shelters and two new grills and a cement
restroom. Also the renovation of the swimming area
has been completed, sponsored by the Twin Cities
