Good to Know Before You Go
- Kansas boating rules: anyone born on or after January 1, 1989 who is under 21 needs an approved boater education certificate to drive a boat or jet ski, and no one under 12 may drive without direct adult supervision. Jet skis can't be ridden between sunset and sunrise, and our rental drivers must be 18 or older.
- Life jackets: everyone on a jet ski must wear a life jacket, and children 12 and under must wear one at all times on a boat or while being towed.
- Wind and open water: Kansas lakes can get windy in the afternoon, so watch for whitecaps and head for a sheltered cove if the wind picks up.
- Book early: summer weekends and holidays fill up fast.
