Lake Hayes
Just northeast of Hayes Center, 50 acres of water surrounded by truly rustic settings sits peacefully within the Lake Hayes Wildlife Management Area. The lake is abundant with crappie, pike, and catfish.
North of the lake the wildlife area sports various game birds and plenty of deer on 78 1/2 acres of State maintained pasture land.
Outdoor adventurers are invited to “ruff it,” in primitive prairie settings for unforgettable camping experiences. The area marks the location of the famous buffalo hunt of the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia.
