Description

Capitol Beach Lake (also known as Salt Lake) is a 300 acres (120 ha) private lake in west Lincoln, Nebraska. The lake is managed by the Capitol Beach Community Association. Capitol Beach Lake is located roughly three miles west of Downtown Lincoln and is surrounded by permanent residences as well as summer homes and rental properties. From the lake, the Capitol Building can be clearly seen as well as the skyline of Downtown Lincoln. Summertime activities at the lake include swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, water-skiing, and jet skiing. Wildlife in the area includes blue herons, waterfowl, minks, pheasants, deer, and foxes. This fauna is supported both by the lake and the Saline Wetland Park, a public park managed jointly by the Capitol Beach Community Association and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District. While there is no public beach access to the lake itself, the Saline Wetland Park features nature trails which are open to the public allowing for observation of these species
