Schramm Park State Recreation Area

Schramm Park State Recreation Area

Schramm Park State Recreation Area is a state recreation area in southeast Nebraska, United States, on the north side of the Platte River in Sarpy County.

The area currently has 3 miles (4.8 km) of scenic nature trails, picnic areas, the Ak-Sar-Ben aquarium and the Gretna State Fish Hatchery, the oldest fish hatchery in the State of Nebraska, established in 1882. The Ak-Sar Ben aquarium features twelve viewing tanks with a variety of fish species. The facility also features a theater and a large terrarium. Since 2003, budget cuts have reduced the funding the park has to operate. The aquarium has not been adversely impacted but some visitor services have been reduced. The 330 acre (133 ha) park is a day use park only, but overnight camping is available 5 miles (8 km) east at Louisville State Recreation Area, on the south bank of the Platte River.

Schramm is accessible from Interstate 80, exit 432. It is on Nebraska Highway 31 9 miles (14 km) south of Gretna, Nebraska.
