Cheney Reservoir is an inland freshwater lake located in Kansas, United States. The water body features multiple distinct shoreline peninsulas and coves, with the primary usable area oriented north-south. The eastern and western shores are lined with trees and residential development, creating natural wind corridors. Side-shore winds from the east (90°) provide the most consistent safe kitesurfing conditions parallel to the main north-south axis. With average wind speeds of 9.4 knots and only 21.8% reliability, this spot requires patience and selective session planning. The shallow peripheral areas and vegetation make the central portions of the reservoir more suitable for riding. Water temperatures around 14.8°C necessitate thermal protection year-round. This location suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking a sheltered inland environment with minimal wave exposure and relatively forgiving conditions. Access may be restricted by private land ownership, requiring verification of public usage rights before launching.
