Medicine Creek State Recreation Area

Medicine Creek State Recreation Area is a protected outdoor space built around a large reservoir in Frontier County. The grounds include camping areas, boat access points, fishing spots, and walking trails that spread across the surrounding land.

The recreation area developed in the mid-20th century when a dam project created the reservoir for water supply and flood control. This development shaped the land into a public space for outdoor recreation.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission manages this recreation space, promoting environmental education and conservation through informative programs.

The area has clear access routes and marked zones for different activities, making it straightforward to find your way around. Seasonal changes affect water levels and what you can do, so plan accordingly.

Locals know the reservoir by a second name, Harry Strunk Lake, reflecting the area's deeper connection to regional history. This local naming shows how the space has become woven into the life of those who live nearby.
