Kansas summer is fully here, and if you haven’t taken a day out on a lake yet, what’s stopping you? Sure, some of our beautiful lakes are having troubles with toxic algae right now, but these are clean, and ready for summer fun. Why not take the day off and visit one of these 7 swimming spots with the family?
This gorgeous lake has a lot to offer when you take it all in. You can swim, boat, and fish, all at this wonderful location. Plus, it's always nice to camp somewhere you know will be available for swimming all day. What more could you want?
This is a favorite spot of mine, located at this gorgeous lake near Cherryvale. It has a playground, showers, and a great swimming area that isn't too deep, which is great for kids and those (like me) who want to keep their feet on the ground. However, you can also be more adventurous, and take a dip in the water if you bring your boat out with you.

In addition to these other lakes, this one in particular is a real beauty at sunset. You can enjoy the sandy swimming beach all day, followed by a night enjoying the calm waters and one of Kansas' great sunsets. On top of that, the state park side of things will make you feel like you're in another world.
