Knox County, Nebraska
Knox County is in far northeastern Nebraska, where the Niobrara River joins the Missouri. The Missouri forms its northern border with South Dakota, and Gavins Point Dam backs the river up into Lewis and Clark Lake along its northeast edge. Inland it is rolling farmland cut by Bazile Creek and Verdigre Creek. The county covers about 1,140 square miles and had 8,391 people in 2020.
The county seat is Center, a village of about 75 built in 1901 near the middle of the county. Creighton is the largest city and has the county's only hospital; Bloomfield hosts the Knox County Fair; Crofton is the gateway to Lewis and Clark Lake; Niobrara sits at the confluence beside Niobrara State Park; Verdigre is Czech and Wausa Swedish; and Santee is the main village of the Santee Sioux Reservation.
All of the county's highways are state routes: NE 12 crosses the north end from Verdel through Niobrara to Crofton; NE 14 runs north from US 20 through Verdigre to Niobrara and the Chief Standing Bear bridge; NE 84 runs east from Verdigre through Center and Bloomfield; NE 13 and NE 59 meet at Creighton; and NE 121 serves Wausa and Crofton. US 20 runs just south of the county line.

History
Knox County was created in 1857 as L’Eau qui Court County — French for “running water”, the old name for the Niobrara — and renamed in 1873 for General Henry Knox, the first United States Secretary of War. Niobrara, at the mouth of the river, is one of the oldest settlements in Nebraska, and the town has been moved twice because of flooding, most recently in the 1970s when the rising bed of Lewis and Clark Lake forced it uphill.
The county seat is Center, and its name is its explanation: Niobrara, on the river at the north edge of the county, was the seat from 1857; in 1900 voters chose a site near the middle of the county, and the courthouse moved to the new town in 1902. Czech and Bohemian settlers gave Verdigre its lasting character, and the Santee Sioux Reservation lies along the Missouri in the north of the county.
The Ponca homeland lay in what is now Knox County, along Ponca Creek and the Missouri. In 1877 the tribe was forced south to Indian Territory; the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska has its headquarters at Niobrara today. See the Ponca Trail of Tears.
Geography
Knox County covers about 1,140 square miles along the Missouri River in the far northeast of the state. The Missouri forms the northern boundary with South Dakota, and the Niobrara enters it here at one of the last free-flowing, unchanneled reaches of the river. Gavins Point Dam backs the water up into Lewis and Clark Lake, Nebraska’s second-largest reservoir. Inland it is rolling farmland cut by Bazile Creek and Verdigre Creek. It borders Boyd County to the northwest, Holt County to the west, Antelope County to the south, Pierce County to the southeast and Cedar County to the east, with South Dakota across the Missouri.
Outdoors — Camping, RV, Hunting & Fishing
Knox County is the strongest water-recreation county in northeast Nebraska, with two state areas and a long Missouri River frontage.
Camping and RV
Niobrara State Park — 89261 522 Avenue, Niobrara. 1,236 acres above the Niobrara-Missouri confluence. Electric Plus sites plus about thirty basic non-electric, and equestrian camping on 120 acres of free range with a corral. Reported at 30- and 50-amp with a maximum rig length of 55 feet. Dump and fill station on site. Water is from scattered faucets — there are no individual water hookups, so bring a long hose. Modern restrooms and coin-operated showers, closed roughly mid-October to April. Nineteen cabins. Swimming pool mid-June to mid-August.
Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area — 54731 897 Road, Crofton. Nebraska’s second-largest reservoir, fifteen miles long. Five areas — Weigand, Burbach, Miller Creek, Bloomfield and South Shore — with over 150 electric sites and more than 100 basic, in every category from full hookup to equestrian, at 30 and 50 amp. Ten modern two-bedroom cabins. The dump station is in the Burbach area: if you are camped at Miller Creek, Bloomfield or South Shore you will drive to it. Modern facilities run April to October.
Weigand Marina is closed through 2026 for a multi-year upgrade, though the store remains open — do not count on renting a slip. The Bloomfield area has had tree-removal work in the fall.
Verdel River Access, a National Park Service site on the Missouri, has a boat ramp, accessible restroom, potable water and primitive camping, free. Bloomfield, Creighton, Wausa, Verdel, Niobrara, Verdigre and Santee all have municipal or private campgrounds; the county publishes names and numbers but not hookup detail, so call ahead.
One to know: Nebraska Tailwaters Campground, below Gavins Point Dam, is in Cedar County, not Knox, despite Crofton addressing.
Fishing
Lewis and Clark Lake holds walleye, sauger, largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish and white bass. Four boat ramps in the Weigand area; jetties give bank access; one fish-cleaning station. No-wake in the spillway portion and the Gavins Point tailrace. The lake and the Missouri are border water with South Dakota — confirm current reciprocity with both states before fishing from a boat.
The lower Niobrara at Niobrara State Park gives walleye, sauger, smallmouth bass, catfish and northern pike. A park entry permit is required at both state areas, on top of a fishing permit — including just to launch. Bazile Creek WMA and Verdel need no entry permit.
Hunting
Bazile Creek WMA is the big one, roughly four miles east of Niobrara where Bazile Creek meets the Missouri — riparian and grassland, deer, pheasant, turkey and waterfowl, with a boat ramp off 528 Avenue. Published acreage varies widely between sources; check the Public Access Atlas.
Unusually for a state recreation area, Lewis and Clark is open to hunting from the Tuesday after Labor Day — upland, big game and waterfowl — but special regulations apply in the Weigand and Burbach areas, so read the posted signs.
Trails and the byway
Niobrara State Park has fourteen miles of hiking, equestrian and biking trail including a two-mile hike-bike route. Lewis and Clark has four and a half miles from the South Shore area, plus disc golf at Weigand-Burbach.
The Outlaw Trail Scenic Byway — which is Nebraska Highway 12, not US-20 — runs 231 miles from South Sioux City to Valentine, crossing the county between Niobrara and Crofton.
