Bennington Lake
Tucked away in the charming Newport Landing community of Bennington, NE, Bennington Lake stands as a private sanctuary, reserved for the enjoyment of its residents and their guests. This hidden gem embodies tranquility and beauty, offering an intimate connection with nature. Although the lake itself is exclusive, with no public boat access to maintain its serene atmosphere, we proudly open our arms to the wider community through a public walking trail and fishing pier on the north side, ensuring everyone can share in the beauty of our cherished lake.

Bennington Lake is under a counter-clockwise boating pattern at ALL times. The designated coves are no-wake, and the entire lake is no-wake from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise. Please review all Nebraska State & Local Lake Laws before boating.

Zebra Mussel Awareness
In recent years, Zebra Mussels have posed a significant threat to lakes and waterways across the Midwest, including the discovery in two Omaha lakes. Eradicating these invasive species from a lake is a challenging task. It is our collective responsibility to prevent the introduction of this threat to our lake. The most effective prevention method is to avoid using our boats in other lakes and rivers. For those who travel with their boats to other water bodies, we strongly recommend watching the following videos to better understand and combat this threat.
