Gallagher Canyon, East Midway boat launch renovations complete
Renovations at two Dawson County boat launch facilities have been completed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. The improved boating access sites at Gallagher Canyon and East Midway are now open to the public.
The upgrades include new concrete boat ramps, expanded parking areas for vehicles with trailers, and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalks and parking. In addition, East Midway now features a new dock, further enhancing recreational access on the reservoir and within the canal system.
Both locations remain accessible to all boats and continue to offer excellent access for fishing, wildlife viewing and paddling.
Game and Parks partnered with the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District on the project design and development. It was funded through a Sport Fish Restoration grant in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with matching funds provided by Game and Parks’ Game Cash Fund, which is supported by hunting and fishing permit sales.
