John Redmond Reservoir is a large man-made lake in east-central Kansas, created by damming the Neosho River. The reservoir and surrounding parklands provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, including boating, fishing for crappie and catfish, camping at several campgrounds, and hiking along nature trails. Wildlife enthusiasts can spot bald eagles, waterfowl, and deer. The reservoir's expansive waters and peaceful setting make it a popular destination for families and anglers seeking a quiet escape into nature.
