About the area |
It may not get any laughs but Ha Ha Tonka State park, located just a few miles South of Camden, is a great place to visit. This park covers over 3,700 acres and has scenery, hiking trails, castle ruins and many spelunking opportunities. There are caves, a huge natural bridge, high bluffs, a variety of trees, wildflowers and rock formations and The large springs help to feed the lake. Most areas in the park can be reached by paved walkways and rugged rocky trails suitable for all types of hiking levels. In the early 1900s, a wealthy Kansas City businessman purchased 5,000 acres in what is now the park and set about building his dream retirement home on a rocky summit above the lake. He died in an automobile crash around 1906 before the castle was finished. It was finished by his sons, but gutted by fire around 1946. The roof has been repaired on the tower, and the rock walls of the castle have been stabilized so that the stone skeleton of this European-style castle sits like a rock sculpture. |
