This is a listing of lakes, reservoirs, and dams located in the state of Kansas. Swimming, fishing, and/or boating are permitted in some of these lakes, but not all.
The shorelines of Kansas Lakes are mostly in government ownership and open to the public for hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking. Large areas of public land surround most of the lakes.
