What are you looking to do at the lake? Boating, fishing, hiking, atv trails, walking paths, each lake has its own little high lite, do you have kids that need a playground, frisbee golf course, beach. From Salina you have a easy drive to some good lakes to try out. We have a boat so a campground with a good boat ramp is a must for us. We see lots of people from Salina at Milford and Council Grove.
