By News Channel NebraskaBURCHARD - Access to roads, the campground, and boat ramp at Burchard Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Pawnee County may be closed for a bit of time this fall due to road repair.
The project will work to improve bumpy road conditions and potholes on the interior WMA road, WMA campground road, and to a portion of 615 Avenue from Highway 4 to the WMA.
Burchard is closed annually to all access Oct. 15-Jan. 14 except walk-in access for bank fishing along the perimeter of the lake during open water and ice fishing when safe ice exists.
Camping is only allowed in designated areas. The area is closed to all firearm use and all hunting. Closures to the campground and interior road before Oct. 15 will be done by posting temporary signs and barricades so road improvements can be made.
