Walnut Creek Recreation Area

The Walnut Creek Recreation Area boat ramp is located in Papillion, Nebraska, and provides access to the Walnut Creek Lake. It is a concrete boat ramp that is 24 feet wide and has a gradual slope, making it easy for boaters to launch and retrieve their craft.

Walnut Creek Lake is a relatively small lake, covering an area of 105 acres. It's a popular spot for recreational boating, fishing, and picnicking. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission manages the lake, and motorized boats are allowed on the water, but there is a 5 mph speed limit. Boaters are encouraged to use electric trolling motors or paddle-powered watercraft. Personal watercraft such as jet skis are not permitted on the lake.

Information regarding the Walnut Creek Recreation Area boat ramp was obtained from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission website, which was last updated in June 2021. Get driving directions.
