Drought takes toll on eastern Nebraska oaks
State parks along Nebraska’s eastern edge are seeing dead or declining trees due to stressors.
The Nunda Shoal boat ramp at Calamus Reservoir State Recreation Area has reopened to visitors following the completion of an extensive construction project.
The Nunda Shoal campground will reopen June 6, once final maintenance is complete. Starting at 9 a.m. Central time that day, visitors can make reservations for the remainder of the 2025 season at OutdoorNebraska.gov.
This marks the final phase of a nearly year-long project to improve the park’s campgrounds, roadways, and boat ramp parking areas. The upgrades also brought the area into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
