Cedar Bluff State Park is a state park of Kansas in the United States. Located 21 miles southeast of WaKeeney or 23 miles southwest of Ellis in Trego County.
The Park is divided into two areas, comprising 1,100 acres, straddle the beautiful 6,800 acre Cedar Bluff Reservoir: Bluffton on the North Shore is the most developed and receives extensive use. Page Creek on the South Shore offers beautiful primitive camping as well as a generous helping of utility sites. Just west of the Page Creek Area, you can find the cedar-lined, 100-foot tall limestone bluffs, from which the reservoir's name was derived.
Threshing Machine Canyon, the site of a 1850s Native American attack on a wagon train bearing a threshing machine, is accessed by a road west of the park. In the historic canyon you will find carvings dating back to the mid-1800s.
