About the north loup river


The North Loup River is a tributary of the Platte River, located in north-central Nebraska. It is approximately 68 miles long and has a drainage area of about 1,250 square miles. The North Loup River was an important water source for Native American tribes, and later became a popular route for pioneers traveling westward. The river flows through several reservoirs, including the Calamus Reservoir and the Davis Creek Reservoir. These reservoirs provide irrigation water for agriculture and serve as recreational destinations for fishing, boating, and camping. The river also supports a variety of wildlife, including fish, birds, and mammals. Despite being used for agricultural and recreational purposes, the North Loup River is considered healthy and well-maintained by local conservation groups.
