Lake Shawnee Tours

A wooden pier extending into a calm lake at sunrise, surrounded by lush greenery and mist.
Lake Shawnee is a lovely place to enjoy some time out from the fast pace of everyday life. See if any water activities are on offer here, or simply enjoy the calming ambiance.

This body of water is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Topeka. But Lake Shawnee isn't the area's only drawcard. Washburn University, Kansas State Capitol, and Topeka Performing Arts Center are some other interesting attractions close by.
