Review:
The Mormon Island State Recreation Area (SRA) is a beautiful scenic area that was named after the winter stopover used by Mormon emigrants heading westward. Forming part of Nebraska's unique Chain of Lakes, Mormon Island SRA hosts hundreds of thousands of sandhill cranes each spring who come to rest and the court in the tranquil waters around the island. Other birds such as geese, ducks and other waterfowl join the fray, and the island boasts a spectacular gathering each spring. Activities include fishing, non-powered boating, and boats with electric motors, swimming, picnicking and camping.
