Johnson Lake is one of Nebraska's most popular outdoor destinations, located just off I-80, 8 miles south of the Lexington exit on Highway 283. The 2,068-acre lake offers excellent fishing, camping, swimming, biking, and water sports for visitors of all ages.
The Johnson Lake Hike and Bike Trail is a paved trail with rest areas and scenic views along the way. It's an easy, family-friendly route perfect for a morning ride or an afternoon cruise.
On the water, Johnson Lake connects to neighboring Bossung Lake, giving kayakers and paddlers a peaceful stretch of open water to explore. A swimming beach is also available for those looking to cool off after a ride or paddle.
Whether you're a camper staying at the Main Area Campground, a day visitor from the area, or a traveler passing through on I-80, Scan-N-Go makes it easy to get out on the water or hit the bike trail without hauling your own gear. Skip the hassle of loading up bikes or kayaks — just download the app, scan, and go.
A Nebraska state park entry permit is required to access the Nebraska Game and Parks managed areas and can be purchased at the campgrounds or in advance at outdoornebraska.gov.
