Pomona Lake is situated among the rolling hills, mixed grasslands, croplands and forests of eastern Kansas. Wildlife and numerous species of birds can be observed at this secluded, heavily shaded campground. Bald eagles, white-tailed deer, Canada geese, wild turkey, crappie, walleye, channel catfish and other wildlife can be found here.
Numerous parks lie on the banks of Pomona Lake, offering additional boating, fishing, swimming, hunting and hiking opportunities.
The town of Lyndon, Kansas is less than 10 miles away, with limited restaurants and shops. This small town is home to 22 historical sites and the smallest Carnegie library still in use.
From US 75 and K-268 junction, proceed east on K-268 for 7 miles, turn north on Pomona Dam Road and proceed 1/2-mile to 229th Street (just before dam). Turn east and proceed to park entrance.
Wonderful park with a great view of the lake, the outlet and into the Michigan Valley area. The trails add a nice area for my group to do SAR K9 training
Great place to hang out & fish. Also good for camping, hiking, walking & just relax
Pomona lake is great! Clean, lots of camping sites, and the boat rentals are a huge bonus!
I love this camping area. It is tucked away so you feel like you are actually in the woods. Decent showers and bathroom. Cute little playground and the swim beach is less than a mile away. No you can not walk there though.
Pamona Beach by the dam. Very quiet on a Monday.. we were the only ones there til noon. Also a very nice picnic area with playground equipment and volleyball nets. Beautiful!
