Angler's Paradise

If you want a quiet, peaceful place with no internet or phone access this is where you go! We spent 48 stress-free hours away from everyone & everything. Of course the big one got away, but it was fun to experience and provided a great story for the fisherman. I would suggest that you bring bottled water & everything you need for your stay as the closest grocery is 25 minutes away.

I've been to Angler's Paradise twice now and will definitely be going there again soon -- and I'm from St. Louis so you know that must count for something that I'd spend 4+ hours driving to a private fishing lake on the Missouri / Kansas borderline. I've been fishing all my life and know a decent lake when I fish one. My personal best bass caught from this fishing lake is 5 pounds and I've caught numerous 2 and 3 pound bass. I have no doubt this lake holds 10+ pound fish. Once an old coal strip mine, this lake offers all of the right elements: 40+ foot deep water, lots of shoreline, tons of cover throughout, (rock, hardwood, brush, etc.) and an excellent population of forage fish to keep the bass fat and happy. Did I mention it's in a beautiful setting too? Don Kentner, owner and creato

Nice location and cabins. Fishing is decent. Water supply to the cabins is highly sulphuric and you end up smelling worse after a shower than before.

We've been fishing and staying here for many years. We love the seclusion, the facilities, and the owners. We visit here a couple of weeks a year. Some of my best fishing stories come from here!

This is a well kept secret for anyone that loves to fish but enjoys privacy. Check out their website. Book in advance because this is a popular place for those that know about it.
