DANISH ALPS STATE RECREATION AREAThe Danish Alps State Recreation Area (SRA) was created as part of a comprehensive watershed plan designed to provide flood control, erosion control and grade stabilization benefits in the 20,316-acre Pigeon/Jones Creek Watershed in Dakota County. This project created 219 surface acres of water (Kramper Reservoir) and 520 acres of additional parkland for a total of 739 acres for public recreation.

This area takes its name from the early Danish settlers in the area. The reservoir is named after longtime Dakota County resident Vince Kramper, whoserved on the boards of the Papio-Missouri RiverNatural Resources District, the NebraskaEnvironmental Trust and the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission and was a staunch proponent of this project. Connealy Day Use Area is named in honor of Richard Connealy, who represented this area as a member of the Papio-Missoui River NRD Board.

This project was constructed by the Papio-Missouri NRD and is managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission under a cooperative agreement. Other project partners include: Natural Resources Conservation Service, Nebraska Natural Resources Commission, Nebraska Environmental Trust, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and Dakota County.

FISHINGThis reservoir was planned with shoreline and boat fishing in mind. The breakwater on the west shore includes a handicap-accessible fishing pier.

A wide spectrum of aquatic habitat features were incorporated to make this new reservoir suitable for fish to reproduce and grow rapidly.

Three water quality basins and a wetland complex are in place for water quality and clarity purposes. A number of rock breakwaters provide aquatic habitat and structure, angler access and break up wind-generated waves. Underwater shoals, tree piles/brush, gravel, rock and diverse depths provide essential habitat for largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, channel catfish and walleye, all which have been stocked in the lake.

Special regulations in effect on the area include:

• No live baitfish can be used or possessed

• Watercraft are limited to 5 mph (no wake)

Otherwise, statewide fishing regulations apply. Consult the current Nebraska Fishing Guide and review signs posted at the park areas for additional information.

BOATINGThe boat launch facility is on the west side of the SRA. This facility will accommodate two boats at a time and includes two 40-foot docks, restrooms and a handicap- accessible parking pad near ramp area. There is a 5 mph/no wake boating restriction on the entire reservoir. Boaters are urged to use caution because of shallow areas and hazards such as flooded trees above and below the water.

CLEAN, DRAIN AND DRY YOUR BOATNebraskans can help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species by cleaning, draining and drying their boats.

Boaters should always inspect, clean, drain and dry their craft and equipment before leaving a body of water. That could prevent the invasive hitchhikers from being transported to another body of water.

Aquatic invasive species such as zebra mussels cause economic and environmental damage by clinging to and clogging water system pipes and screens and by out-competing fish populations for food. For more information on preventing the spread of invasive species, visit neinvasives.com.

CAMPINGCamping facilities include:

• 26 gravel pads with electricity and three ADAcement pads in equestrian campground (sites 1-29)

• 7 gravel pull-through pads and one ADA cement pad pull-through with electricity (sites 30-37)

• 34 gravel pads and two ADA cement pads with electricity in main RV campground (sites 38-73)

• 22 tent camping sites (sites T1-T22)

• Showers are located within the RV and equestrian campgrounds.

• All electrical campsites have 30- and 50-amp hookups.

• A picnic table and fire ring is located at each primitive and electrical campsite.

• Vehicles using park roads must be licensed.

• Check-out time is at 2 p.m.

• Self-service boxes are available for depositing fees when the entry station is not staffed.

EQUESTRIAN AREAThe combination of an equestrian campground and scenic horse trails makes Danish Alps SRA a great destination for horse enthusiasts. There are 14 horsecorrals, hitching posts and water within the equestrian campground. A horse trail encircles most of the lake.

TRAILS AND DAY USE There are three day use areas. Richard Connealy Day Use Area is located on the southeast corner of the lake along 203rd Street. Day Use Area 1 and Day Use Area 2 are on the west side of the lake. Day use area features include a playground (Day Use Area 2 only), picnic shelters, restrooms, parking, picnic tables, hike/bike trail and fishing breakwaters.

HUNTINGHunting will be allowed on the areas south of 203rd Street from the first Tuesday following Labor Day through the end of the spring turkey hunting season. Special restrictions apply, so refer to the Nebraska Hunting Guide for more details.

PARK PERMITA valid Nebraska Park Entry Permit is required for each vehicle entering the SRA. Permits can be purchased at OutdoorNebraska.org or at the park.

Otherwise, statewide fishing regulations apply. Consult the current Nebraska Fishing Guide and review signs posted at the park areas for additional information.

BOATINGThe boat launch facility is on the west side of the SRA. This facility will accommodate two boats at a time and includes two 40-foot docks, restrooms and a handicap- accessible parking pad near ramp area. There is a 5 mph/no wake boating restriction on the entire reservoir. Boaters are urged to use caution because of shallow areas and hazards such as flooded trees above and below the water.

CLEAN, DRAIN AND DRY YOUR BOATNebraskans can help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species by cleaning, draining and drying their boats.

Boaters should always inspect, clean, drain and dry their craft and equipment before leaving a body of water. That could prevent the invasive hitchhikers from being transported to another body of water.

Aquatic invasive species such as zebra mussels cause economic and environmental damage by clinging to and clogging water system pipes and screens and by out-competing fish populations for food. For more information on preventing the spread of invasive species, visit neinvasives.com.

DANISH ALPS STATE RECREATION AREAThe Danish Alps State Recreation Area (SRA) was created as part of a comprehensive watershed plan designed to provide flood control, erosion control and grade stabilization benefits in the 20,316-acre Pigeon/Jones Creek Watershed in Dakota County. This project created 219 surface acres of water (Kramper Reservoir) and 520 acres of additional parkland for a total of 739 acres for public recreation.

This area takes its name from the early Danish settlers in the area. The reservoir is named after longtime Dakota County resident Vince Kramper, whoserved on the boards of the Papio-Missouri RiverNatural Resources District, the NebraskaEnvironmental Trust and the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission and was a staunch proponent of this project. Connealy Day Use Area is named in honor of Richard Connealy, who represented this area as a member of the Papio-Missoui River NRD Board.

This project was constructed by the Papio-Missouri NRD and is managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission under a cooperative agreement. Other project partners include: Natural Resources Conservation Service, Nebraska Natural Resources Commission, Nebraska Environmental Trust, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and Dakota County.

FISHINGThis reservoir was planned with shoreline and boat fishing in mind. The breakwater on the west shore includes a handicap-accessible fishing pier.

A wide spectrum of aquatic habitat features were incorporated to make this new reservoir suitable for fish to reproduce and grow rapidly.

Three water quality basins and a wetland complex are in place for water quality and clarity purposes. A number of rock breakwaters provide aquatic habitat and structure, angler access and break up wind-generated waves. Underwater shoals, tree piles/brush, gravel, rock and diverse depths provide essential habitat for largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, channel catfish and walleye, all which have been stocked in the lake.

Special regulations in effect on the area include:

• No live baitfish can be used or possessed

• Watercraft are limited to 5 mph (no wake)

Otherwise, statewide fishing regulations apply. Consult the current Nebraska Fishing Guide and review signs posted at the park areas for additional information.
