Lake Miola was constructed in
    the 1950s as the primary water
    supply for the city of Paola.  

    The park covers approximately
    725 acres which includes the
    200 acre lake.  

    Since construction the lake has
    become a great location for
    camping, water sports, fishing,
    hiking, bird watching, family get-
    togethers and picnics.  

    The Annual Fourth of July
    Fireworks display sponsored by
    the Paola Chamber of
    Commerce is held at Lake
    Miola.

    You might wonder about the
    name Miola.

    Once upon a time there was this
    Indian Princess named Miola........
    it sure would make a nice story.

    It was a simple as a school
    contest back in the fifties when
    somebody came up with this
    unusual same by putting Miami
    County and Paola together into
    one short word that stuck as the
    name ever since: Miola.
    During the summer months, a
    camp host is available at the
    campgrounds on the west side of
    the lake to assist campers.  
    Camping and boating permits are
    also available from the Lake
    Caretaker at the office near the
    boat ramp.
