**Location & Access**
Area 5 is a boat ramp facility located in Agnew, Lancaster County, Nebraska, providing access to Middle Oak Creek. The ramp is situated at the south end of the park with paved launching facilities. This access point is conveniently positioned for paddlers and boaters exploring the Middle Oak Creek system and is within reasonable driving distance of Lincoln-area recreation areas.
**Facilities & Amenities**
The site features a paved boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. Fish cleaning stations are available on-site (also at Area 11), making this a practical stop for anglers. Nearby camping options include Pawnee Dam-Site 14 Campground within 10 miles. The area is part of a larger recreation network that includes Twin Lakes (14 miles west) and Branched Oak Lake (a state recreation area with extensive facilities), offering paddlers multiple options for extended trips or day outings.
**Water Conditions Note**
Water levels on Middle Oak Creek can vary seasonally. Paddlers should check current conditions before launching, as flow rates and accessibility may be affected by recent rainfall and seasonal changes. This makes Area 5 a reliable primary access point when water conditions permit standard launching.
