Cottonmill Park and Lake offers various opportunities for fun and recreational activities just west of Kearney. Visitors can hike in a native prairie or tour a Nature Barn. A central feature to the park is the 43 acre lake. The lake underwent a complete restoration in 1998 to create a top quality fishing lake. Swimming is allowed from sunrise to sunset with no lifeguard on duty. If boating and fishing is more to your liking, the lake is stocked with large mouth bass, bluegill, crappie, channel fish and northern pike. The more athletic visitors can play disc (Frisbee) golf on the east side of the park. The 2,263 foot, par 33 course meanders through cedar forest areas and along the lake shore. Visitors can picnic at any of the scattered picnic sites throughout the park. Small shelters, grills and water are available at some sites. The two large groups shelters, which can accommodate up to 48 people, a lodge, which will hold around 80 people and the amphitheater, which holds around 250 people, may be reserved.
