After a beautiful but short less-than-100-mile drive southward from the Flint Hills of Kansas yesterday, we arrived at El Dorado State Park at El Dorado Reservoir -- located near the intersection of Kansas 77 and Interstate 35.
Our campsite overlooks a portion of the 8,000 acre lake which has 98 miles of shoreline. The reservoir was completed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1981. The State Park claims nearly 1,100 campsites ranging from primitive to full utility hookups.
As we completed our two-mile walk yesterday afternoon, we agreed that this is a beautiful park that we can add to our "let's go back here" list.
