Cheney

State Park & Reservoir

The park’s 1,900 acres are laced with good trails and dotted with shaded cabins and campsites. In the reservoir you can sample some of the state’s best white bass, wiper and walleye angling. There are beaches and playgrounds, too.

If the sun’s too hot or the rain too heavy you can make short trip into Wichita and see world-class zoo and the city’s famed museums.

Cheney State Park is a rare place where you can have a heaping helping of civilization, the watch a wide-open sunset as you grill the fish you caught at sunrise.
