Kansas offers more than 150 lakes, 10,000 stream miles, and 55,000 ponds providing excellent opportunities for boaters of every kind.
From anglers and paddlers to skiers, sailors, and powerboaters, most waters across the state have well-maintained public facilities that make getting on the water easy and enjoyable.
As recreational use of Kansas' waters grows, safe and responsible boating is essential. Every boater plays a role in protecting themselves and others by staying informed, practicing safe operation, and understanding the rules that govern Kansas waterways.
