Lewellen

Lewellen combines the open scale of Nebraska’s High Plains with the intimate character of a small North Platte River community, reflecting its position in the state’s western Panhandle country. The river crosses a broad agricultural valley, while Lake McConaughy, formed by Kingsley Dam, lies nearby and is Nebraska’s largest reservoir. Ash Hollow State Historical Park preserves an important Oregon Trail setting: emigrant wagons descended Windlass Hill to reach water and shelter in the hollow. Lewellen helps tell the story of how travel routes, irrigation, and recreation have shaped this stretch of western Nebraska.
