Harlan County Lake, NE -- The Kansas City District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will temporarily close Cedar Run ATV trails at Harlan County Lake, Nebraska beginning May 23, 2025.

USACE is currently managing seasonal staffing and resource limitations that affect its ability to safely operate and maintain the trails following damage from extreme weather and wildfires.  This closure for Cedar Run ATV Trails, alongside existing closures of camping at North and South Outlet Park are being made to ensure visitor safety, protect environmental resources and sustain critical dam operations.

Visitors are encouraged to verify the status of recreation sites before traveling and to consider alternative locations where needed.  Visit our official recreation website for the most current status of affected sites, updates and detailed maps: https://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Locations/District-Lakes/

Please follow all posted signage and closures.  Respecting these limits helps protect public safety and ensures that facilities can reopen more effectively in the future.

USACE is committed to resuming normal services when conditions allow.  We thank our visitors, volunteers and partners for their continued support and understanding.
