Lewis and Clark Lake Information

Lewis and Clark Lake is a reservoir located on the Missouri River in northeastern Nebraska, near the town of Crofton. It was created by the construction of the Lewis and Clark Dam and provides various recreational opportunities. Nebraska's second largest lake, Lewis & Clark straddles the northeast border with South Dakota, about 7 miles north of Crofton on Nebraska Highway 121. The lake is about 16 miles long and 3 miles wide, with a maximum depth of 45 feet. It draws its name from the Lewis & Clark Expedition, which camped nearby on their epic journey to explore the Louisiana Purchase. This state recreation area includes five areas on the south side of the lake: Weigand-Burbach, Miller Creek, Bloomfield, South Shore and Deep Water.
