Johnson Lake
Johnson Lake is a manmade reservoir located in South Central Nebraska. It is managed by Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District. It is one of the most popular and well-developed recreation areas in Nebraska.
Located seven miles southwest of Lexington, the lake is not large as reservoirs go (only 11 miles of shoreline and 2,500 water surface acres), but its variety of recreational opportunities, its central location and its accessibility help draw large numbers of visitors. Water Skiing, swimming, fishing, and sailing are just some of the activities that Johnson Lake provides. Among other developments around the lake Thompson's Resort is there for all of your lake needs.
The Johnson Lake Sailboat Regatta is held annually on the lake’s waters and the lake recently hosted the Midwest Regional Sailing Regatta, a regional championship race.
This is the home of the Johnson Lake Yacht Club. June 1997 marked the 30th anniversary of their first regatta.
