With all the recreational opportunities we have to offer, Johnson Lake is definitely Nebraska's Playground. With 28 miles of shoreline, water activities abound: fishing, boating, water skiing, tubing, swimming or just relaxing on the shore with the soothing sound of waves to calm you.

An 18-hole golf course is just down the road for the golf enthusiast. Eagle viewing is enjoyed seasonally at the lake. Johnson Lake hosts an Annual Fourth of July Fireworks display, which brings in folks from all surrounding cities.
