About this swimming hole

Elk City State Park's day-use area includes a designated swimming beach on Elk City Lake in southeast Kansas. KDWP's facility materials place the beach right in the day-use zone, making it an easy swim stop for picnickers and campers. The lake's wooded coves give it a more sheltered feel than the big open reservoirs.
