From Kansas City 70 westwards and drive for about 200 miles until you see signs to Wilson lake. Get to the north of the lake and enter Lucas Park. Drive all the way down to the Lucas Point, the most southern point of the park.

Wilson Lake is a Kansas State Park on one side and Federal Park on the other side, camp on Kansas Park side, it is cheaper.
