What a fantastic area. Nothing bad to say. A ton of room to ride bikes, run, and fish. I believe the water is a no wake zone, but I always see a ton of people fishing. This park is huge so it rarely gets crowded since everything is spread out.
Great place to get out and relax. Plenty of shade to have a picnic or relax while reading a book.

My favorite lake for cycling or walking. There are enough hills and turns to make it interesting and it doesn’t get too crowded. You will see deer and turkeys routinely. I also enjoy the trees being marked for educational purposes.

I have come here with my husband and his side of family to take family photos. Many spots you can find to take pictures at. Not like the parks that the houses around there photobomb your pictures.

Chalco Hills/​Wehrspann Lake has been a go to place for year. It has a great bike path, walking trail around the lake with many different picnic areas for cookouts, some with covered pavilions. I see people fishing there all the time, so it must be stocked with good catches. The visitors center houses the NRD’s Natural Resources Center which features conservation exhibits and nature displays.

Such a wonderful day to volunteer for Bark for life/​relay for life cancer event!
This whole area is a sight to see and makes me want to travel this way more often. The trails are really clean and maintained. They even have off track paths you can take to wonder more into the forest…
They have informational signs in front of trees and plants to educate you on some of the things they have growing here.
Alot of wildlife to see here as well!!!

There are shade trees along the trails and wildlife. We like to go biking there. We see a lot of people fishing there. Once we went and the Nebraska Hot Air Balloon was there with the balloons!

Chalco is a gem of a park dominated by Wehrspann Lake. The lake is good for fishing, and I have seen some ice fishing happen here in the winter.
There is a 6.5ish mile trail around the lake that is paved and marked. Beware that the mile markers include the spur into the park loop… it is not 8 miles around! :) The trail sweeps through open prairie and brush and through wooded areas. There is a connector across a causeway at the west end of the lake that will give you some routing options.
The park has several access points on all sides, a boat ramp, and several picnic points to just relax if you like. There is a sizable deer herd out here… I have seen over 40 at one time. There are also plenty of water critters… not sure of what I have seen from a distance. lol Mink, otter, beaver? All of them?
