Edwin A. Pape Lake Access, located 2 miles south of Concordia on Highway 23, offers a 245-acre public fishing lake with a concrete boat ramp, fishing dock, fishing jetty, picnic areas, and pavilions.

A city use permit is required in addition to a Missouri fishing permit, and the lake is open 24 hours daily for anglers with valid permits. Motorboats are limited to no-wake speeds, and a minimum 10-foot boat length is required.
