Harry Strunk Lake
Medicine Creek Reservoir
Medicine Creek State Recreation Area Located just ten minutes (via paved road) north of Cambridge, this amazing place deserves to have three names! The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has touted this as Nebraska's "Most Scenic Lake" and in times of "low water", the many springs that bring this lake to capacity year after year are truly a gift. Read the NebraskaLand Magazine's May 2007 feature story by Rocky Hoffman on the linked page. Remember it is a State Park so a Permit is necessary to visit.
