Lake Afton, Protected recreational area in Sedgwick County, Kansas, United States.
Lake Afton encompasses 258 acres of water within a 720-acre park, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and water skiing activities.
The Works Progress Administration initiated the lake's construction in December 1939, completing the dam after two years and opening it to the public in 1945.
The Lake Afton Public Observatory on the north side of MacArthur Road provides astronomy education programs and celestial observation sessions for the community.
The park store operates from April to October with extended weekend hours, selling camping supplies, bait, groceries, and propane for visitors' needs.
The lake maintains five rental shelters, including four enclosed structures and one open facility, distributed across different locations throughout the park grounds.
