Lake Calimus beachLocated 6 miles northwest of Burwell, the Calamus Reservoir State Recreation Area offers some of the state’s finest recreational opportunities.

Camping, fishing, boating, hiking, sightseeing and hunting are the real attractions on the 5,123-acre lake and surrounding 4,958 acres of rolling Sandhills. Five boat ramps provide convenient access along the shoreline. Primary sport fish in the Calamus Reservoir include walleye, white bass, wipers, channel catfish, carp, drum and crappie.

White sand beaches and lots of wildlife make this a great spot to relax and get away.
