About Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area
Managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, this 864-acre recreation area sits on the southern shore of Lewis and Clark Lake. The land borders the reservoir formed along the Missouri River, giving the site its lakeside setting. It offers access to that shoreline for visitors weighing whether the water is the main draw.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
