About This Access Site
Newport Landing Circle provides boat ramp access to Bennington Lake, a 256-acre man-made flood control reservoir located between 168th and 180th Streets just south of Highway 36 in Bennington, Douglas County. The lake permits full-wake boating and jet skis, making it suitable for a variety of watercraft including motorboats, kayaks, and canoes. The deep water and no-flood design of this NRD-managed lake provide reliable conditions for recreational boating and fishing.

Nearby recreation opportunities include Glenn Cunningham Lake and Zorinsky Lake, both offering additional water access and amenities such as hiking, biking, fishing, and nature trails. For overnight camping, Cunningham Lake Dam Site 11 Campground is located within 10 miles. Before launching, paddlers should verify current access policies and any specific regulations for Bennington Lake, as private residential properties border portions of the water body.
