Fort Riley Military Reservation or portions of it, may be closed at any time, without prior notice, due to military activities, security restrictions, or impassable roads. The military mission and security have precedence over recreational pursuits.

Fishing at Fort Riley's ponds, lakes and streams is allowed only when the areas in which they lie are open for fishing. To find out what areas are open, phone 785-239-6669. Many ponds have special regulations in effect. Always check the information board at each pond before fishing. These regulations have been developed to maintain or improve fishing opportunities and are tailored to fit the specific conditions of these waters.
