4th IUSS Soil Classification Conference Field Tour Guidebook Chalco Hill Recreation Area Chalco Hills Recreation Area is located in northwestern Sarpy County, Nebraska, and approximately 12 miles (19 km) west of downtown Omaha. Chalco Hills consists of 1,186 acres (4.80 km 2 ) of which 246 acres (1.00 km 2 ) is covered by Wehrspann Lake, an artificial reservoir. The recreation area was opened in 1988 as part of Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District efforts to provide flood control and improve recreation opportunities. The Dam was built by the Corps of Engineers and the recreation area is managed by the Natural Resources District. [1] Featured at this recreation area is the Natural Resources Center, the NRD's headquarters. Also located at the Recreation Area are two US Department of Agriculture Agencies: The Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Farm Services Agency, as well as a field office for the US Army Corps of Engineers, NE Department of Environmental Quality and the Civil Air Patrol. The District works closely with these agencies for effective management of natural resources, and are nationally known for this co-location of resource management offices convenient for all interested in our environment. There are seven picnic areas and several have covered pavilions, the largest of which can accommodate up to 100 people. Seven miles (11 km) of walking trails encircle Wehrspann Lake. Soccer fields, baseball fields, and playgrounds adjacent to picnic areas are easily reached from nearby parking areas. The soccer fields are also used as launch sites for hot-air balloons and radio controlled airplanes. The area is used for cross-country running events during the fall, and crosscountry skiing and ice fishing are popular in the winter. Fishing is more popular in the warmer seasons, and there is parking for 30 trailers. Motorized boats must comply with the no-wake regulation by maintaining speeds under 5 miles (8 km) per hour. 143
