About Great Salt Plains State Park

The park sits beside Great Salt Plains Lake, a shallow saltwater lake, and borders a nearby national wildlife refuge of barren salt flats. Visitors fish for catfish, saugeye, sand bass and hybrid striper, hike, ride horses on designated trails, paddle canoes or kayaks, and watch migratory birds. Cabins, RV sites, tent sites and equestrian camping are available. Nearby, a crystal digging area in the refuge lets visitors search for selenite crystals that form in an hourglass shape.
