Lake Cheney is one of the best sailing lakes in the Midwest.

"Located in windy central Kansas, the lake offers excellent sailing. In fact, national sailing regattas have take place at Lake Cheney. It’s a breathtaking sight to see more than 100 multicolored sailboats on the lake at one time." - KDWPT Brochure
Lake Cheney is shaped in the form of a triangle. Along the southern base of the lake is the dam with water depths reaching thirty-five to forty feet. Sailing from the west shore to the east shore is a distance of about four miles and sailing from the base of the dam to the northwestern point of the lake is also about four miles. The 9600 acres of surface water equates to almost 15 square miles of sailing pleasure. In the summer the predominate winds come from the south with northerly breezes in the spring and fall.
There are numerous public boat ramps to launch your sailboat. Or you can join the local sailing club or use the public marina to dock your sailboat when you are not sailing.
Fishermen, power boaters and sailboats all share the lake with other watercraft including jet skis and windsurfing. But even on the busiest weekends, there is plenty of room for all to enjoy the beauty and fun that is Lake Cheney.
