7-17-19: The park is open. All facilities are open. No utility sites have been affected.  We have had some primitive sites that have been affected, but are opening more shoreline access.  The swim area has been moved to the Bluffton Beach in the Bluffton Area.  We have been able to open the Cove 1 Boat Ramp.  

Due to the unstable structure of the 147 Hwy Bridge crossing Cedar Bluff Dam, Highway 147 will be closed from start of the dam to the north and right south of the bridge, the length of dam. The KDOT project is expected to start in early 2020 and will be replacing the bridge entirely. The current bridge has been there since the 1950s when the lake was built. There are county roads available for local traffic, but with the recent rains we encourage you to take the KDOT official detour. You can still get to the North Side Park from the North, and you can get to the South Side Park from the South by traveling 147 Hwy.

July 16th: The marina hookups are available to reserve again.  Electrical repairs have been made and we are now waiting on the water to go down some more to get in to Heimerman and see how much it's going to take to repair it.  The water is still 3.75' high  and the boat ramps are still tricky to use..  Sailboat cove ramp is hard to use because of events happening there and the traffic backup.  The west shore boat ramp is the one being used the most but it will take patience and everyone working together to get it to work out.  Mr. D's is also accessible to a certain extent.  Remember to have fun but be safe!!

The cabins on the East Shore are open for business! For reservations please contact the Cheney State Park Office or KShuntfishcamp.com. These are brand new, two bedroom cabins with a beautiful view of the lake. Please contact the office for any questions.

Flood Items: The Lake is still 3.75' high. The East Shore is still blocked off and shut down except for the Lakeview Utility sites, the Marina Utility Sites and new Cabins. On the West Shore, Giefer Creek Day Use, Hobie Beach Day Use and Campground are closed. The rest of the areas are open and accessible. However, utility sites for this weekend and next are completely booked.
