Hiking and lake views draw visitors to Woodson Cove, a day-use area within Cross Timbers State Park Campground on the shores of Toronto Lake in southeastern Kansas. The access road has a 6% grade leading to the turnaround. One important note: signage on site indicates no overnight camping is permitted, making this a day-use stop only. The trail system here is well-regarded, though tick and bug spray are strongly recommended before heading out. If you're planning a stay in the area, campgrounds around Toronto State Park include nearby options with full overnight access.
