|
La Cygne Lake is located 5 miles east of La Cygne, KS in Linn and Miami Counties. Kansas City Power and Light owns the property and operates a coal-fired generating facility on the east side of the lake. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and Linn County lease the lake and surrounding land for public recreation. La Cygne Lake and Wildlife Area is comprised of 2,600 surface acres of lake and 2,000 acres of land managed primarily for wildlife. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 40,000 acre-feet at normal operating level with a maximum depth of 35 feet and an average depth of 15 feet. La Cygne is managed to support a diverse, high-quality sport fishery. The lake is well known for its largemouth bass. Crappie, flathead and channel catfish, white and striped bass, bluegill, and walleye are also present. Rough fish provide opportunities for bowfishing. Warm water discharge provides open water for year-round fishing and concentrates fish for easier harvest. Half-cut trees, brush piles and tire reefs have been placed in the lake to increase fish habitat. These sites are marked by buoys.
