Maple Creek Recreation Area

Leigh, Colfax, Nebraska

Maple Creek Recreation Area stands out as a unique destination due to its integral role in the original Maple Creek Watershed project, which enhances both the natural beauty and recreational opportunities in the region. Established in collaboration with local authorities, this area has become a cherished spot for outdoor enthusiasts. In 2000, the Village Board of Leigh took the initiative to request a reevaluation of the watershed structure by the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD). Following favorable feasibility studies conducted by Olsson Associates, funding was successfully secured from various sources, including the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources Development Fund (NRDF), the Motorboat Access Fund through the Game & Parks Commission, and the Nebraska Department of Roads for improvements along Highway 91. Visitors to Maple Creek Recreation Area can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, hiking, and boating, all set against a backdrop of stunning natural features. The area also offers a sense of privacy, making it an ideal retreat for families and individuals looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nearby attractions, such as local restaurants and shops, further enhance the experience, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a memorable visit.
