Keith Sebelius-Spillway

Located near Norton in north-central Kansas, the Keith Sebelius-Spillway access point provides boat launch facilities on Keith Sebelius Lake, a 1,150-acre reservoir created by Norton Dam on Prairie Dog Creek. The site features multiple ramp options to accommodate varying water levels—two high water ramps and one low water ramp—making it accessible throughout different seasons. This spillway area is part of the broader Keith Sebelius Reservoir system managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks.

The lake is open year-round for recreation and offers good boating access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Nearby Prairie Dog State Park on the reservoir's north shore provides additional amenities including camping facilities, a swimming beach, and a hiking trail. Anglers will find the lake open for sport fishing year-round, making this a popular multi-use destination. Limited camping is available in designated areas on the adjacent wildlife area. Be prepared for variable water conditions and check current water levels before launching, as the choice of ramp will depend on seasonal fluctuations.
