Trail 1

Trail 1 provides boat ramp access to Shelly Creek and Medicine Creek in Cambridge, located in Frontier County, Nebraska. This access point serves as a launch facility for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the creek system in the area. The site is conveniently located near Harry Strunk Lake and Medicine Creek State Park Recreation Area, making it a good option for paddlers interested in accessing both creek paddling and nearby lake recreation.

The ramp is situated on the west side of Medicine Creek. This is an established access point that accommodates various watercraft, from canoes and kayaks to larger boats. Given its location in the Nebraska sandhills region, paddlers should be prepared for conditions typical of Great Plains waterways. The proximity to Medicine Creek State Park suggests this area offers opportunities for scenic paddling through mixed terrain, though paddlers should check current water conditions and seasonal water levels before launching, as water flow can vary throughout the year.
