KDWPT

PRATT – Soak up the sun, hike a trail, build a craft, enter a 5K, shoot some archery – whatever floats your boat, chances are you’ll be able to enjoy it at a Kansas state park on Sat., April 23, during the 2016 Open House event and the best part is, it may only cost you the gas it takes to get there.

In an effort to showcase the many exciting and fun times that can be had at Kansas state parks, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) will host a free entrance day and open houses at all state parks on April 23.
