About This Access Site
The Main Boat Ramp provides access to Hell Creek and West Papillion Creek in west Omaha, offering a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. Located at the end of a narrow road (pull-over protocol recommended if meeting oncoming vehicles), the ramp features a parking area and is marked by a sign. The access point is situated near several regional recreation areas, including the nearby 255-acre Zorinsky Lake and Glenn Cunningham Lake, which offer additional paddling and recreational opportunities in the Omaha area.

This ramp serves as a gateway to local creek paddling in Douglas County. Paddlers should be prepared for typical Midwestern creek conditions and should check current water levels and flow conditions before launching, as creek water levels can vary seasonally. The site's proximity to urban Omaha makes it an accessible option for day trips and recreational paddling.
