Situated 20 miles west of Wichita, the 1,900-acre Cheney State Park has long been a popular destination for all outdoor enthusiasts. The park is spread out along the shores of the Cheney Reservoir, which is one of the premier sailing lakes in the USA.
The park offers two marinas where you can launch your boat – either to go sailing or fishing – and there are also four designated swimming areas on the lake. You can bring along your tent or RV – there are over 400 serviced campsites that can be reserved in advance. Giefer Creek and Spring Creek Nature Trails offer good wildlife viewing and there is also a 5-mile trail for walking, hiking, or biking.
