Opening of Wildwood WMA boat ramp delayed

The east access road off NW 84th Street, leading to the boat ramp and parking lot at the Wildwood Wildlife Management Area south of Valparaiso, remains closed as the project experiences slight delays.

Pending concrete test results on Oct. 12, the anticipated reopening of the ramp and parking area now is mid-October.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District are working to try and reopen the ramp before the end of the boating season.

All other access roads and parking lots at Wildwood WMA are open.

This boat access project is addressing issues of heaved and cracked concrete on the boat ramp. Renovation of the boat launch facility will greatly improve functionality and benefit users for many years.

Questions can be directed to ngpc.boataccess@nebraska.gov.
