Council Bluffs Country Club

The Council Bluffs Country Club provides convenient public access to Lake Manawa, a popular recreational lake in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. This location offers a modern boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels of any size. Lake Manawa features multiple ramp locations on the north, south, and west sides of the lake, giving paddlers flexibility in choosing their launch point. The lake is known for year-round fishing opportunities for crappie, bluegill, catfish, walleye, and bass.

In addition to the boat ramps, the lake provides several amenities for water users including an accessible fishing pier, shoreline fishing areas, and a fish cleaning station. Canoe and paddle boat rentals are available at the beach area for those without their own equipment. The lake also provides boating access to the Missouri River for those interested in exploring beyond the lake's boundaries. The Lake Manawa Sailing Association operates seasonal facilities with dry storage, wet slips, and a dedicated sailing ramp for non-motorized craft.
