This is a nice little lake just outside of Paola. I would probably call it more of a recreational…read morelake because of the lack of trees and a lot of large open areas. There is a boat dock, a swimming area, camping sites, shelters, and playgrounds. Fishing is allowed and based on some of the splashes I heard as I waited for fireworks, there appears to be some decent fish in the lake. Lake Miola is also the location of the annual 4th of July fireworks show for the city. The city puts on a decent display with both air and ground fireworks although it could improve by shooting the fireworks in a larger area instead of all at the same location (various heights) in the sky. Also this is more a Paola thing, or honestly a thing you encounter everywhere, but last nights experience was impacted by a jerk officer. Now before I become the top candidate on a list to pull over for no reasons, I am a huge supporter of our police forces. They do a job that many would not do and should be respected. There are bad ones, but the majority are the type of heroes our children should look up to! With that being said, just because you have an attitude or John Wayne syndrome or what ever, don't be a killjoy. One officer was harassing people about where they were parking, even though there were not any no parking signs and other officers were allowing people to park in these areas.

Disclaimer: Rating for trails/observation tower *only*…read more A good walk or hike in some wide open green spaces will do wonders for the soul. Sure, Kansas can be limited in some of its landscape offerings, but if you don't take advantage of what's right in front of you, then you might miss the beauty that is many of our area lakes & parks. Kill Creek Park is just that beauty. There are trails of various difficulty, but none that are so strenuous that you could not do them with more than moderate effort. You can hike around a forest, around a lake, or you could just hike out in the prairie. There are multiple trails, all of which are well-marked, and they blend together at certain spots. Mountain/trail bikers might share the space at times but I have always had pleasant sharers of the paths. The trails are well-maintained with openings here & there for power to run through and the overall elevation changes are minimal. We've done the 'Outer Hank' several times and the circuit takes less than two hours. Wear your hiking shoes as some of the trails can have tricky steps and keep your eyes open to see nature in front of you. The observation tower is 3+ levels offering different views, all of which open in any direction. There is even an elevator to the top that is in service for most of the year. I suggest an evening view to the west for an optimal Kansas sunset, many of which can't be replicated. If you want mountains or beach, then you won't find it here. But if you want the peaceful, pastoral open skies of the West, then Kill Creek offers you just a taste of nature can do.

Lovely day to get out and about. Not too crowded for a late Sunday afternoon…read more Even for Wintertime, it's scenic enough to walk the area for some pretty views. The paved trail is clearly marked with signs to help one find bathrooms, marina, disc golf, etc. They have spaces for kids and families at the Beaver Shelt, as well as a music park section near the Eagle Landing Building. There are at least two car charging stations at the marina. There may be more around the park itself, but I did not happen to come across any.

My favorite parts of this park are the outdoor xylophones and musical wall with rubber mallets attached. The acoustics are very addictive. My 3-year-old granddaughter also loved the rope bridge, the swings, including a large round one, and the merry-go-round. We also got to play many games in the mock caves, which were complete with cave drawings.

One pretty major negative was the amount of goose droppings. At first we thought it was an inconsiderate dog owner but the "mess" was everywhere along the shore.
