About Baker Park Reserve

Baker Park Reserve sits along Lake Independence and spans a large natural area used year-round. Visitors can bike, hike, paddle, fish, and camp, and the park also offers a national golf course, horse trails, and a sledding hill. In winter, groomed cross-country ski and snowshoe trails, dog sledding routes, and ice fishing access keep the reserve busy. Two swimming beaches on Lake Independence are open in summer, and a campground with cabins and group sites is available by reservation.
