Although the State Lake is not located inside our city limits, it is only three miles away and is closely identified with Tonganoxie. It offers a quiet setting for picnics, two large shelter houses, overnight camping and boat launching facilities.  There are Kansas State Park regulations posted on the north road as you enter the park and also by the boat ramp. These explain fishing regulations, limits, size rules, etc. They also explain camping regulations.
