Cedar Bluff State Park in western Kansas occupies two sections around Cedar Bluff Reservoir, with the more developed Bluffton Area on the north shore and the quieter Page Creek Area on the south. Its defining feature is a line of limestone bluffs west of Page Creek, where juniper-covered cliffs rise above the water and gave the reservoir its name, though early settlers had mistaken the trees for cedars. Just west of the park lies Threshing Machine Canyon, associated with an 1850s Native American attack on a wagon train and still preserving mid-19th-century carvings. The area remains valued for camping, reservoir recreation, and dramatic bluff scenery.
