Installation of a new floating fishing pier recently was completed at Grove Lake Wildlife Management Area in Antelope County.
The 60-foot gangway and 10-foot by 20-foot floating platform, with benches and rod holders, was installed on the west shoreline of the lake north of Royal.
This project was initiated to provide more bank fishing opportunity at the 50-acre lake. Installation of the floating fishing pier was the final step of the multifaceted boating and fishing access improvement project. Renovations to the north and south boat ramps were made earlier this year.
The north ramp began to heave and separate at the joints. It was replaced, with the new concrete ramp including an Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant parking stall and access. The upper part of the south ramp was replaced. Riprap protection was added to the adjacent shorelines of both ramps and drainage and shoreline grading was performed.
This project was made possible through a Sport Fish Restoration grant and through the Nebraska Game and Parks Aquatic Habitat Stamp, which accompanies the permit anglers’ purchase.
