Cody Park Pond East (Lincoln County)
This site has been a topic for rehabilitation for more than 20 years. If deepened, it could
potentially make a great community waterbody for families and youth anglers. In recent
years, a proposal was written, and meetings held with North Platte's City Parks
administration and Game and Parks staff.
Goals: Habitat, Access, Prevention
Tasks:
a. Improve the aquatic habitat conditions within the pond by deepening it and
reshaping the shoreline.
b. Flood protection to reduce the introduction of AIS fish species.
c. Improve sport fish populations by chemical renovation and restocking.
d. Improve shoreline access with bump outs, jetties and docks.
Ownership: City of North Platte
Potential Partners: City of North Platte, Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy,

Enders Reservoir (Chase County)
A boat ramp project was completed at Enders in the fall of 2022. During the project,
breakwaters were constructed but the tops were left unfinished. An access project to build
concrete paths on top would provide anglers better fishing opportunities. The lake basin
should also be diversified with the addition of cedar trees, artificial structures, and rock
shoals.
Goals: Habitat, Access
Tasks:
a. Improve access on jetties with concrete walkways.
b. Enhance in-lake fish habitat using cedar trees, shoals, and artificial structures.

Potential Partners: Bureau of Reclamation, NGPC Parks Division
Frenchman WMA (Hayes County)
Frenchman WMA is home to three sandpits. All three have primitive, sand boat ramps that
make boat access and fish sampling difficult. Shoreline fishing access is generally good but
during the summer months, grass can be tall and inconvenient for anglers. Improving access
within the area would be a popular project in a location that is heavily used by local anglers.
Goals: Habitat, Access
Tasks:
a. Improve boat access by building concrete boat ramps.
