When Clinten Reservoir is ready for public use, an estimated 1.3 million visitors will use the facility in its first year of operation, according to Vie Counts, Clinton
That figure consists of boating, fishing,
nauting and day and overnight camping

"THIS AREA WILL offer something for everyone," Counts said. "It will have ultramodern facilities and very primitive areas and everything in between."

There will be six recreation areas at the lake. At two of these areas—Clinton State
"At 10 every night the gates will be shut to the day campers and quiet time will be enforced. Those who see this as a beer party area are mistaken," he said.

If right-of-way purchases and construction plans keep on schedule, Clinton commode and commode increased traffic from Lawrence to the lake area. Dean Sanderson,
Field work is completed on the parkway, he said, and purchase of right-of-way is the next step for the project. The right-of-way is land on either side of the roadway.
Clinton State Park will be managed by the state, Counts said, and in order to enter the park on April 25, residents must pay a fee.
The parkway will connect the 23rd and Iowa streets intersection with Clinton dam,
Hewitt said that the K-10 improvements would have been made regardless of whether Clinton reservoir had been built, and he hoped to help move Kansas City traffic to the lake.
Expansion of K-10 to four lanes between Kansas City, Kan., and Lawrence probably will be completed this year, Hint Jeffwheat, Douglas County planning commission, said.
THE PLANNING commission also included in its 1974 projections the possibility of a K-10 east of Lawrence, go south about two and a half miles and then west to connect with Lake Ontario.
"This bypass would have reduced the traffic coming through Lawrence," he said. "The idea was for the bypass to continue or to the reservoir and then tie into the turn."

But Hewitt said the plan was long range and wouldn't be realized for at least another year.
Sanderson said right-of-way purchase negotiations for the parkway would start before fall and would be completed in 1978. The project would then be ready for con-
Counts said roads to the overnight area were separate from the day use areas to the north.
"I'm not sure how long construction will be Sanderson said. The county has never had bigger projects."
"IT WILL depend a lot on the weather and we骨 we'll be done by 1800."
To receive federal funds to pay for 70 per cent of the project, the county must earnmark its $5.9 million in construction funds for the parkway by September 1978.
"It that happens, the county and city would have to pay the rest of the bill that has been taken from the federal government," he said. "But I don't think we would have any trouble getting it."
Sanderson said he thought right-of-way costs might raise the cost of the parkway to

"I think a permit costs $10 or so, but it is the best deal you count." Counts said. "You can buy a permit, put it on a bus and haul as many people into the park as you want."
Counts said the arena at Bloomington offered the only group area on a reservation
THE PERMIT costs the same for a bus as it does for a car, and is good for other state parks in Kansas, not just Clinton State Park. Counts said.
"If someone wants to bring a large group in, like a family reunion or class party, they can reserve the area for a slight charge," he said.

Bloomington also will have marine facilities like Clinton State Park.
"Marina bids will be open to the public sometime in 1978. We will review all the bids and select the one that will serve the parking lot for our boats. Parking for and the boat ramps, but it will be up to the marina to build the docks, the main facility and gas pumps."
Martin Henry, Endment Association property manager, said he had not any recent contact with parkway authorities or other agencies before commenting on the land's status.
Peter Whitenight, Douglas County commission chairman said, "The purchase of right-of-way is quite a process in itself. It must be processed, process, but we should be ready by 1978."
Counts said there were four other public use areas—Woodridge, a primitive area for picnicking; Ridgewood, the area; the outlet area around the dam spillway, a day use and overnight area with picnicking and fishing; and Southeast, an area that won't be developed until there is a

He said that the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) had shown the most prolonged interest in the area as a potential recreational and environmental health study area.

KU has since leased back the land, giving it the largest parcel of the three schools that have land at the reservoir. Lawrence School District, USD No. 497, owns a 233-acre environmental education reserve, and Haskell Indian Junior College has a 70-acre

"The land is currently being held in stewardship," Henry said. "It has lots of money to buy the university." Association's intent to see how or when it will be developed. If someone were to come to us with a workable plan, we'd be glad to do that, and it would still a good investment for the University."
So far, the land has been used only for agricultural production, Henry said, and it is managed by one of the professional farm managers who manage the University-owned lands around the state. Income from field on the property is about $3,000 a year.
THE LAND, as it was originally purchased, included 320 acres on the southeast shore of Clinton Reservoir. But in 1973 the city also condemned 86 acres of lake front land.

MANY KU departments have shown an interest in the land for educational and recreational use, but none have come up to develop or the money to begin development.

Osness said that when the thesis was given to the Endowment Association, the plan was rejected for being too expensive. The budget would have been sufficient; the investment would run in excess of $1 million. The money for development would most likely, he added, be spent by the university's administration budgeting of the University.

MAX LUCAS, DIRECTOR of facilities for the University, was here to defend plans for Adams Campus, preliminary discussions had centered on its possible use as a seminar and retreat area.
The Endowment Association owns the land, which was purchased through a grant by Stanley Learned, chairman of the board of Petroleum Co. and a longtime KLU婆婆。

Lack of funds delavs land use
The development of the land (the only privately owned parcel with the possibility of raising it) is often because of a lack of building funds, and lack of any definitive proposals for its use, according to Martin Henry, property manager at University of Kansas Endowment Association.
In completing her master's thesis, Pollard said that she had distributed a questionnaire describing the campus and soliciting possible uses from the 32 departments of the University. Then she was invited to interview academies among the student population.
Adams Campus is a 222-acre tract of Clinton land purchased by the University of Kansas in 1965 as a recreation park. It will be open 10 years later, no one seems sure what will happen there.

--services, the land has definite recreational and research potential." Sevmur said.
“IT'S A BODY of land that was just given to the University, and everyone can use. In fact, it doesn't have to be developed that much. It could be kept very natural.”
"Personally, I have visited with the local Chamber of Commerce people and they too would like to see something done with the project," she said. "We hope we'll be able to contribute more."
Sandra Polland, a former graduate student now living in Olahthe, researched Adams Campus from a wildlife standpoint. She also outlined the type of structures that would best suit the land, the pressures on land and recreational and educational use.
TWO YEARS AGO, with the help of Onness and other departments and individuals, a master's thesis was done on the feasibility of developing the Adams land into an alternate recreation center for KU students, faculty and their families.
Wayne Osmess, professor of physical education, said that the HPER department was in a "holding pattern" regarding Adams Campus.

HENRY SAID THAT he thought interest in the Adams campus would be rekindled when the water for the reservoir was fully impounded by next spring.
"We certainly haven't been pushing it (development), though." Sevour said.
