About

East Rolling Hills Park is the premier day-use facility at Milford Lake, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As the largest day-use park on the lake, it offers six distinctive group shelters available for reservation, each providing scenic views of Milford Lake. The park is located on the edge of the Kansas Flint Hills along the Republican River. Each shelter includes a vault toilet and grill, with several sites featuring nearby playgrounds, horseshoe pits, and sand volleyball courts. The park also offers a full-size basketball court. Within the park, visitors can access a swim beach and free boat ramp for public use. The lake spans 15,700 acres with 163 miles of shoreline, making it the largest man-made lake in Kansas. Recreational opportunities at Milford Lake are extensive, including boating, swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and biking. The lake is particularly known for excellent sailboating conditions. The surrounding area is home to the state's third-largest wetland and supports diverse wildlife populations. Nearby attractions include the Milford Nature Center and Fish Hatchery just below the dam, featuring live animal exhibits and Kansas ecosystem education, plus an adjacent golf course.
