Pilger Recreation Area, located just north of Pilger in Stanton County, provides public boat access to Pilger Reservoir 1-B. The recreation area was developed over 50 years ago as part of watershed management and flood control efforts in the region. This is a day-use area with a boat ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats looking to access the reservoir.
The site offers hiking and walking opportunities around the grounds, making it a good option for paddlers who want to combine water time with exploration of the area. Note that camping is not available at this location, so plan accordingly if you're traveling from a distance. Before visiting, check current conditions and water levels, as reservoir conditions can vary seasonally. This access point serves paddlers exploring the Lower Loup area and those fishing the reservoir.
