This beautiful state park is about 30 miles south of Oakley and just a 30-minute drive from Monument Rocks. The campgrounds are right on Lake Scott and offer lovely scenic views. This is a peaceful place to stay and the nearest state park to Monument Rocks.
If you’re looking for a scenic setting where you can stay a while but still be within close reach to Monument Rocks, Scott State Park is the place to be. This fascinating state park is home to the very last Native American battle in Kansas — now known as Battle Canyon. It also offers a range of recreational activities, from swimming and boating on the lake to fishing, hiking, and even learning about fossils at the various archeological sites on site. The sparkling lake and stunning canyons make this park feel like you’ve left Kansas, and its landscape is why it’s one of the most treasured state parks in the nation.
