About Wilson State Park
A marina anchors the Hell Creek area, one of two sections that make up this 945-acre park along the south shore of the 9,000-acre Wilson Lake reservoir. The reservoir's southeastern arm splits the land into Hell Creek on the west and Otoe on the east, and both sides have hiking trails, swimming beaches, and boat ramps. The park sits at the eastern end of the lake, giving visitors two separate access points to the same reservoir.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
