About Wallace State Park

Wallace State Park sits in Clinton County, roughly seven miles south of Cameron, and is a short drive from Kansas City. Its main feature is Lake Allaman, a six-acre lake used for fishing and boating. Visitors can walk one of four trails that have benches for resting, and shaded picnic spots are spread around the grounds. The family campground offers modern restrooms and hot showers. A harmful algae warning for Lake Allaman advises people and pets to avoid contact with the water until further notice.
