Zorinsky Dam

Highlight • Structure

Zorinsky Dam was created in 1984 as part of an initiative to protect the city of Lincoln from flooding. The area became a state park in 1993. The dam blocks Papillion (Papio) Creek, as does Wehrspann Dam to the south.

West Papio Creek Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

At this spot you cross a nice bridge over West Papio Creek. The water is lined with rushes and tall grasses, which makes the water sometimes a little hard to see from the side, but makes it a popular spot with birds and other wildlife. This is a nice place to slow down and keep an eye out for them!
