Lake Calamus has some of the best sandy beaches you will find in Nebraska. The lake is 10 miles long and 3 miles wide. There are trees located around the lake with plenty of sandy spots to pop up and umbrella and lounge. We went fishing via a boat and jet skiing on a weekend in July. The water was cool (spring fed) but we still were able to swim and have a great time. We caught plenty of white bass and had us a nice dinner. A very nice way to spend a few days. There are many people who travel 3-3.5 hrs from Omaha to enjoy Calamus. I highly recommend eating at the Pizza Palace followed by ice cream at the old fashioned soda fountain, The Hub.

If you have a boat , go to the south side of the lake, nice place to lay on beach, have a picnic. Lots of places close by for food or whatever you need.

Get off the beaten path - really off the beaten path! If you love wide open spaces and unspoiled natural scenery, a visit to the Calamus Reservoir and Burwell Nebraska are definitely a must. And if you use the Calamus Outfitters for your visit, you'll enjoy it even more.

Loved the fishing and trip a great place for family fun

We took family out there and it was so peaceful, quiet, and enjoyed sitting on the sand while the children played in the water. The water was not cold, just perfect for the kids to play in.

One of the greatest things about Calamus Lake is the sandy beaches. Be aware that in late spring, they lake can be fairly high still. So many lakes are nice to look at, but not very fun for kids or families. The entire lake has sandy beaches that you can take a short walk or hike to get too. If you go to some of the less known areas, you can have the entire beach area to yourself. The lake is spring fed by the Calamus River, so the water is very clear for Nebraska. The fishing here is very good too. Catfish, drum, crappie, white bass and much more can all be caught easily. I am not too proud to fish for carp, and their is an endless supply here. So fun for kids to catch. The upper portion of the lake is no wake for fishing, if you have a boat. There is a lot of boating activity, but hike to a more remote beach and you will be all alone. No much for hiking trails at all. That is about the only drawback. Burwell is a fun town and great people. I always recommend kayaking or tubing the Calamus River too.

First of all, I am not an outdoorsy person, but I enjoy being with family. We ended up at Calamus Lake for a large family get together. There are many outhouses, but we never found running water in a restroom or a shower area. Even when I did tent camp as a child in Texas 45 years ago, every major water area had running water. My second concern was the swimming areas. We found a nice one, but a boat, a pontoon, and several jet skis were parked in the middle of the area. Buoys were easily visible that they went past. The kids had a great time and we kept watch for the boats. The boats, etc. really made it hard to keep track of the older kids as they were playing. Overall, this would be a very nice lake if boats were kept out of the swimming areas.

Yes there are white sand beaches in Nebraska. Great campsite and the town has a great park and bar to catch some food when needing a break from cooking.

Great lake to fish, camp, swim, picnic, water ski or just soak up the scenery at.

Our family recently purchased a pop-up camper and went with friends to the Calamus Reservoir for five days. I've lived in Nebraska my whole life and never been to this part of the state. It was a great experience. The lake is large and perfect for boats and jet skis. Water clarity was good for the most part. Storms in the area stirred up some algae one day, but it settled quickly. Since it's in the sandhills, a majority of the coastline was a beach. Most weren't very deep, but the sand quality was great, unlike a majority of the lake beaches in the southeastern portion of the state. The shower house was very clean for a campground, but cleaned from 8:30 to 9:30 every morning which seemed like an odd time to clean the bathrooms. The outhouses were clean, but very much smelled like outhouses. Just walking by let me know I didn't want to go in. The surprising thing is there weren't any bugs in the middle of July. We did get to see a couple of wild turkey and turtles and of course fish. All of which our kids loved. The trip was a total surprise and I could have stayed another four days easily. It was worth the four hour drive.
