Lehigh Portland State Park is one of Kansas' most unique outdoor destinations. Located near the historic town of Lehigh, the park was once a limestone quarry that supplied material for the Portland cement industry. Over time, the quarry filled with water and the surrounding land was reclaimed as a state park. Today, visitors can enjoy dramatic limestone cliffs, wooded hillsides, and a peaceful lake that provides a scenic setting for recreation and relaxation.

Fishing: The clear quarry lake provides excellent fishing opportunities. Anglers may catch species such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish.
Hiking: Visitors can explore the park's natural beauty along trails that pass through wooded areas and scenic overlooks above the quarry lake.
Wildlife viewing: The park provides habitat for many Kansas wildlife species including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and numerous songbirds.
Photography: The steep limestone cliffs surrounding the lake make the park one of the most photogenic landscapes in Kansas.

RV utility campsites equipped with water, electrical and sewer connections.
Shower house: a modern 4-pod CXT shower house available for campers that provides clean restroom and shower facilities.
Day use areas: Picnic areas and shoreline access
