    A very pleasant little suburban park with a charming little pond. Some noise from nearby roadways disrupts things a little, but still a good spot for walking or fishing.

    Great lake to fish for bass, crappie and catfish. Has a nice trail to walk and kept clean by pick nick tables.

    I like this park when it's cooler because there is no shade and you get the full benefit of the sunshine. In the summer, this would be a drawback. Is an easy 4 miles around with very little elevation change. The restrooms are open year round unlike some dam sites. No deer or turkey here, but plenty of geese. They've recently installed a small exercise area with outdoor equipment. You can do sit-ups, pull-ups, chest presses, and step-ups.

    Great place to walk. A little over 4 miles.

  • 5/5 cody o. 9 months ago on Google
    An unexpected oasis in the middle of a very busy suburban part of Papillion /Omaha. Well kept and very well managed.

  • 4/5 Chris R. 7 months ago on Google
    The four mile loop at Prairie Queen is perfect for making a material down payment on a 10,000 step goal. The path is relatively flat and wide, but lacks shade, so be prepared for that. Google Maps provided us with guidance to the boat slip, but Apple took us into a neighborhood which was odd. This recreation area is bounded by 132nd street, highway 370, a neighborhood, and a light industrial area, so there is a fair amount of commotion all around and probably due to all of this urban proximity, quite a few people fishing and boating already.

  • 5/5 Joanne F. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice walking path!

  • 5/5 Quincey Q. 4 years ago on Google
    Nature close to home! Kayaking, boating, fishing, and a walkway big enough for cyclers, walkers, and runners. I think a trip around the lake is about 5 miles. My biggest complaint is there needs to be more trees to block all of the houses and the apartment complexes.

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 5 years ago on Google
    Very clean lake. Very shore fishable as well.

  • 5/5 Adam K. 6 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Joan H. 3 years ago on Google
    We walk here. Great paved trail that can be 2 or 3 miles or 5 miles if whole route done. City of Paillion has done a good job of getting snow off trails this winter. Also fishing and pinicking, etc.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoy bringing our children here for fishing and walks to see nature. You can count on seeing a Blue Heron when you're at Prairie Queen. Beautiful area.

  • 5/5 Mrs. H. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice picnic shelter. Plenty of parking. Nice walking trail. I have not walked around the entire loop. There are restrooms. Great for bird watching.

  • 3/5 Trevor B. 1 year ago on Google
    Okay for walking, not a great place for fishing. Been here several times and barely caught anything. I'm starting to question if they even stock this lake...

  • 3/5 Paul L. 5 years ago on Google
    Small no place to park fishing ok if you like to walk a few snags in the way for fishing on shore and they are developing around the lake witch means the lake will go down the tubes as I can tell on my first visit no live bait and yet people are using minnows so it will have carp in it soon they need to make a big one like Cunningham and zorenski lakes make em deep 60 feet would be nice.

  • 5/5 Brad M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for a peaceful walk or bike ride with occasional wildlife. 4 mile loop will take you around 1 hour and 20 mins to walk.

  • 5/5 Kimberly W. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Drew H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Creationsps91 3 years ago on Google
    It not really a park it's just a lake ,walking path, my husband fish here there is no where for kids to play

  • 4/5 Michael K. 3 years ago on Google
    2019 was great for fishing, but early 2020 is showing that weeds are taking over the shorelines. I hope someone is addressing the problem. They also need to restrict large motor boats that are leaking fuel in the lake.

  • 3/5 Jack C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice lake, ramp and fish

  • 5/5 Judy H. 5 years ago on Google
    Me and my boyfriend go fishing here all the time. Only thing is there's so much damn weeds and trees.
