Review:
Lake McConaughy is the largest reservoir in Nebraska with 100 miles of shoreline, white sand beaches, and plenty of water sports activities. Lake Mac, as it is adoringly called by locals, is located 8 miles north of the small Nebraska farm town of Ogallala, Nebraska, adjacent to the Sandhills.
This is a fisherman’s dream destination, with a potential for catching rainbow trout; white, striped, and smallmouth bass; and the revered walleye. Summer also brings sailboaters, windsurfers, water skiers, scuba divers, and swimmers. During fall, waterfowl hunting is popular, and in winter, ice fishing takes center stage. Lake McConaughy is a year-round vacation destination.
