Although Nebraska only has eight official state parks, we have many, many state recreation areas. This one in far northeastern Nebraska opened in late July 2015, making it one of the newest in a collection of wonderful places that we can go to experience and enjoy the outdoors.
Danish Alps State Recreation Area is located near Hubbard, 10 miles southwest of South Sioux City.

It encompasses 520 acres of recreation land along with the 226-acre Kramper Lake.

The lake was specifically designed with anglers in mind. Numerous aquatic habitats make the lake a favorable place for fish to thrive.

Kramper lake is stocked with channel catfish, black crappie, largemouth bass, bluegill, and walleye. Shoreline fishing is allowed, as is fishing on the no-wake lake.

There is even a wheelchair accessible fishing pier to make the lake available to every angler. Additionally, there are plenty of camping spots - some of which can accommodate horses - a playground, walking trails, showers and other camping facilities.
