About Douglas State Fishing Lake

Douglas State Fishing Lake sits in rural Douglas County, Kansas, southeast of Lawrence. Kansas state fishing lakes are public waters managed for angling, and this one follows that pattern: simple, low-pressure fishing without commercial trappings. We don't hold a species list or facilities information, so check current Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks regulations and stocking reports before you make the trip.
