Visit Lewellen and Garden County
While legally a "village," Lewellen was recently described as a "micropolis" by the Omaha World Herald. We love that term and it captures the unexpected to be found in a little community of less than 200 people.
Located just 30 miles off Interstate 80, at the west end of Lake McConaughy, visit Lewellen and Garden County - pristine nature, pioneer history and becoming the Mayberry-Taos of Nebraska! Favorite places - Ash Hollow State Historical Park, Crescent Lake National Wildlife Reserve, Lake McConaughy and Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area - all great for nature and birding. While in Lewellen, visit 17 Ranch Winery and the free swimming pool.

Sandhill Cranes by the thousands in Lewellen area.
Lewellen is the center of the western flyway of greater sandhill cranes feeding in area corn fields on their way to breeding grounds in Alaska. Cranes are best viewed on the river at sunrise and sunset and in area fields during the day. Best viewing is between the last week of February and the first week of April.
