Camping, kayaking, boating, skiing, swimming, picnicking, hiking, fishing, and hunting are just some of the great opportunities that can be enjoyed while visiting Dundy County.
The Republican River meanders near Benkelman and provides natural beauty, life for crops and wildlife, and recreation.
Kayakers and anglers, in particular, enjoy this area in southwest Nebraska. Three lakes are within a short distance of Benkelman: Rock Creek Lake, Enders Reservoir, and Swanson Reservoir.
