Douglas State Fishing Lake is a 180-acre lake northeast of Baldwin City, Kansas, off US-56 Highway. The lake and recreation area was constructed in the early 1960’s and is surrounded by 538 acres of wildlife area. There is free primitive camping in designated areas along the lake’s western shoreline. There are vault toilets but no hookups, drinking water, or trash dumpsters. There are some picnic tables and makeshift fire rings. Camping is considered dispersed as there are no designated sites, just pick a spot and set up your tent or park the RV.
