With half the lake designated as a no-wake zone, Willow Creek Lake is an excellent place for fishing. The other half of the lake is open to all boating and water skiing. This 700-acre lake, in the northeast part of the state at Pierce, NE, is home to bass, catfish, crappie, sunfish and wiper.

The no-wake area has a considerable amount of brush, trees and vegetation in the water, providing excellent cover for fish and baitfish alike. Virtually all the shoreline is accessible for bank fishing. Fishing from shore is enhanced by seven rock jetties providing anglers additional access to fishing areas. Kayaks, canoes,and all types of fishing boats are used here to access these healthy populations of fish. The Willow Creek SRA Campground offers tent and RV camping with some facilities.
