Dole moves to study Wilson Lake for national park
Senate sponsor Bob Dole pushes a National Park Service feasibility study to potentially designate Wilson Lake near Russell Kansas as a National Recreation Area. The study follows $125000 approved by Congress and faces questions of pork barrel politics and local impact. The lake, with sandstone bluffs, opened in 1964 and is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and Kansas. Meinen backs the idea as scenic and like a regional asset.
