- ★★★★★over 3 years agoThe west beach was closed when I came, but there was parking and a semi-beach on the east side where you could go fishing if you like or out a boat in the water! There were a lot of dead fish in the water and the grass by the boat entrance, which was kind of gross. It was a nice quiet day when I was there. There’s plenty of parking and benches to sit on, while there are also bathrooms around the area.
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoWe have a great time when we go camping here. The sunset was absolutely beautiful the day we came. It was so peaceful and quiet we could've stayed longer.
- ★★★★★over 5 years agoI've always been in love with Pawnee lake amazing place amd so much fun to take pictures there and good place for family
- ★★★★★about 3 years agoI love camping at Pawnee Lake during the week, I work downtown so I’m able to shower at the campground and drive to work in the morning. It’s actually quicker than my commute from Southeast Lincoln and a great way to take advantage of any nice days we happen to get during the week. Plus is not as busy. Shower is quarter operated.
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoThis is a beautiful lake with lots of beautiful views and is always well upkept. I appreciate this location very much.
