I will for sure be back! And not just because my best friend has a cabin out here. The people are…read morealways friendly waving and saying hi. The lake is huge, great for boating, fishing, jet skiing, tubing, waterskiing, sailing, kayaking, swimming, or pretty much anything else you want to do in the water those are just the things I like to do there. Johnson lake is a great family getaway. While we were at the lake last weekend the Dawson's fair was in town and we checked that out Saturday night which was very fun. Everyone in the surrounding towns were very friendly too. Johnson lake also has a beach, I haven't gone to the beach but I drove by on the jet ski and boat several times and it usually looked pretty busy. I was so tired at the end of the weekend, I was always doing something while I was there. I feel like if I didn't have a boat or jet ski I would not have had as much fun so that's something to consider when you go to the lake. Even if you don't have either, it's still a rest place for swimming or relaxing!

When I got into the shower, I chose one of the larger ones. The only thing not working the 2 big control knobs were hard to turn . One adjusted knob amount of water going to each shower head, one up high other at waste height. The other knob regulates water temp, going to each shower head. If you took your time, you could dial them in perfectly. Just thought I would say thanks to Army Corps of Engineers.

Harlan County Lake is Nebraska's 2nd largest lake. It's located on the Republican River about a 2…read morehour drive South of I-80. This is one of Nebraska's true gems, a resource known to the locals but not so much to the outside world. With 2 full service marinas, 31,000 acre feet of water, and several improved and primitive campgrounds this is a great place to escape for a weekend or a holiday retreat. It's a little ways from large stores for stocking / restocking up on supplies so plan accordingly. Also this park has some Park Rangers with very serious attitude problems. But that being said the beauty of this lake warrants taking the time to share it's presence with the world. Along with fishing and boating in the main lake, make sure to check out the spillway. On a hot summer's day you can walk across the spillway and the water will cool you off quite nicely. The current can be swift if you have children hold on to their hands as you make your way out to the concrete where the fishermen like to setup. Overall, excluding the park rangers from hades, this is a solid 4 star place, well worth the time to drive to and check out! But shhh! Try and keep it a secret so hordes of people don't overrun the place!
