Just a few miles north of Kansas State University and Manhattan, Tuttle Creek State Park is located on the banks of the state's second largest lake, Tuttle Creek Reservoir. Four areas make up the 1,160-acre park, while the wildlife area comprises 12,200 acres and the lake 15,800. Electrical and water hookups, swimming beaches, boat ramps, a marina, courtesy docks, dump stations, and a hiking trail provide excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation. In addition, picnicking, softball, water skiing, wind surfing, bicycling, and jogging are favorite pastimes.

• Go fishing: Fishing in the reservoir - especially for crappie - is quite good, and the wildlife area offers ample opportunity
• for hunting.
