State Recreation Area
11479 Nebraska Highway 11 | Wood River, NE 68883
Cheyenne State Recreation, part of the chain of lakes along Interstate 80, features a 15-acre lake in a 32-acre park near Wood River. The area offers fishing, no-wake boating, camping and picnicking.
The lake at Cheyenne is no-wake, so only electric motor and non-powered boats are permitted. It offers a rock boat ramp.
Anglers will find bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, crappie and largemouth bass.
Cheyenne offers eight picnic tables, six grills and three picnic shelters.
Wood River West Wildlife Management Area is located one mile west of Cheyenne SRA, offering additional fishing opportunities in a 16-acre lake.
Cheyenne SRA does not offer designated campsites, but campers can pitch tents in the mowed areas around the lake and set up their RVs in parking areas. All camping is first-come, first-served for those who register in the self-service box (cash or check only) at the entrance.
