This lake in particular is one of my favorites for the classic "weekend camping trip" where you swim, make a fire, and just generally enjoy sleeping outdoors. In addition to those, there's plenty of space to hike or boat, if you're equipped for that as well. What more could you want for summer fun?

I can't tell you enough just how delicious this eatery is. They've got everything from tacos, to home-smoked brisket, to a literal bucket of ribs. They've also got frog legs for those of us who eat an occasional amphibian from time to time. Enjoy the riverfront views from your table outside, or eat inside away from the flies. It's up to you!

This lake is one of my favorites for (you guessed it) fishing! Plus, the sunsets are absolutely perfect for evening picnics.
Nothing says childhood like building a sand castle, but Kansas doesn't have any oceans, so we make do with sandy lakes. This one is the best for building sand sculptures and castles, in my opinion. At least you don't have to worry about the tide taking it away!

Elk City Lake is a stunning example of how beautiful our lakeside sunsets can be. Sunset picnics and swims are paired perfectly with awesome views of the sky.
This little park is hidden snugly in Dodge City, where most tourists only make it to Boot Hill and other historic areas. However, this waterpark is a great place to enjoy the water this summer without any "dirt" or snakes to bother you.
