Toronto-South

The Toronto-South access site provides boat launch facilities on Toronto Lake along the Verdigris River in Woodson County, Kansas. This is a major river system (Stream Order 8) with significant flow averaging 6,586 cubic feet per second and a moderate gradient of 1.9 feet per mile. The ramp provides access to a 311-mile river corridor with substantial elevation change, making it suitable for motorboats, canoes, and kayaks seeking to explore this major waterway.

**Important considerations for paddlers and boaters:** Be aware that high water conditions from heavy rainfall can render this ramp temporarily inaccessible, so check water conditions before visiting. The Verdigris River and Toronto Lake offer opportunities for fishing (black bass, bluegill, sunfish, and flathead catfish), though access is limited elsewhere in this section. The surrounding area features Kansas' only granite outcrop at Toronto Lake and scenic rolling prairie country with wildlife viewing opportunities at nearby Fall River Lake and its 10,900-acre Game Management Area.
