About

Located just 17 miles West of Wichita and 20 miles South of Hutchinson, Cheney State park offers a unique recreational getaway. The State Park is located on the South end of the Lake on both the East and West Shores. Since its completion in 1964, the park has grown to include 223 electrical sites with water, 22 boat launching lanes on 7 boat ramps, 10 restroom/shower houses, 2 modern restrooms and 6 vault toilets, as well as 4 trailer dump stations. For the camper, there is a mix of primitive and utility camping. These areas range from the waters edge, to grassy, tree covered areas along a quiet spring fed creek. The park has 4 designated swimming areas as well as several picnic/dayuse areas. There are 9 modern cabins on the West shore and 3 modern cabins on the East shore of the lake for those who would rather not "rough it." Located in windy central Kansas, the lake offers excellent sailing. In fact, National Sailing regattas take place at Cheney. It's breath taking to see more than 100 multicolored sailboats on the lake at one time. The Ninnescah Sailing Center on the West shore is "headquarters" for sailing at Cheney. On the East Shore, a full service marina carries supplies for the boater and fisherman with rental docks. Fishing is excellent for Channel catfish and white bass, and good for crappie, striped bass, wipers, and walleye. Hotspots include walleye along the dam in late March, white bass spawning run upriver in May, and channel catfish at the feeders in June and July. One handicap accessible fishing complex at the Toadstool Loop jetty consist of a fishing pier and brush pile fish attractors.
