    NE > Bluestem Lake>1-3 Apr 2016 - Nebraska Fools Hang!!

    Hi All,

    I'd like to announce a new hang for Nebraska - the Nebraska Fools Hang! April 1-3, at lovely Bluestem lake (GPS coordinates 40.6228946,-96.7920866):

    2015-11-16_12h43_54.png

    A few members of the forum have looked over the site, and there are easily 20 spots to hang in the immediate vicinity, and many more just over the hill. It's a wide-open area, with defined campsites, including picnic tables and fire rings. Fishing in the lake is decent, I'm told, although it is a smaller, no-wake lake. The campground is family-friendly, with lots of area to roam, and a small playground available (swings and slide)

    Some activities to include (suggestions welcome!)

    • Most Foolish Hang Contest

    • Most Foolish Outfit Contest

    • Dutch Oven Cookoff

    • Fishing Derby



    Detail items:

    • Each campsite is $8/day (pay by cash/check at self-check-in station)

    • A $5/day vehicle permit is required, if you don't have a season pass (Entry permits available here)

    • Water is available on site (hydrant)

    • Bathrooms are on site (sheltered pit toilets, as befitting a primitive campsite)

    • No showers available

    • As always, weather in Nebraska is varied - temperatures could be anywhere on the map - and you'll need to plan accordingly.

    • Fishing permits are available here



    Please respond if you're interested so we can get a nose count!

    I am sure out-of-bounds camping is allowed in Nebraska...
