LINCOLN –Visitors to state park areas in northeastern Nebraska will find enhanced day-use and camping amenities. Projects in the works or completed will appeal to an array of park users.
At Ponca State Park, electrical pedestals were installed at the park’s Eric Wiebe Shooting Complex for use by vendors during the annual Missouri River Outdoor Expo. This $20,000 project was paid for with Land and Water Conservation Funds.
At Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area, major upgrades were made at the Pathfinder and Victory Lake campgrounds, which are nearly completed.
The improvements at Pathfinder include a new restroom/shower house, electrical upgrade to 50 amps and ADA-compliant concrete pads. At Victory Lake, there will be an electrical upgrade to 50 amps and ADA-compliant concrete pads. The dump station also has been replaced.
In total, 156 campsites received electrical upgrades and nine additional camping pads now are ADA-compliant.
