Dead Timber State Recreation Area, Recreation area in Dodge County, Nebraska
Dead Timber State Recreation Area spans 200 acres of land between the Elkhorn River and a 50-acre oxbow lake formed by ancient river movements.
The stone shelter and entrance pillars, constructed by the National Youth Association in 1939, remain standing despite numerous floods over the decades.
Local residents maintain connections to the area by volunteering their time to perform maintenance tasks and preserve the recreational facilities for future generations.
The recreation area provides 17 electrical campsites with 30-amp hookups, alongside day-use shelters equipped with tables and grills for outdoor gatherings.
The name originates from a Native American winter camp incident where a fire destroyed substantial amounts of timber in the surrounding forest.
