Things to do at Alexandria State Recreation Area
- Lake Fishing EasyRV parking available
The park's small lakes are the main draw, offering shoreline and small-boat fishing for panfish, bass, and catfish stocked and managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. A valid Nebraska fishing permit is required for anglers 16 and older.
- Non-Powered Boating EasyRV parking available
Paddlers can launch kayaks, canoes, and small non-powered boats directly from the park's shoreline access. The quiet lakes are well suited to beginners and families.

Shaded picnic areas along the lakes make for an easy lunch stop or afternoon visit during an RV road trip across southern Nebraska. Basic tables and open grassy areas are available near the water.
- Wildlife and Bird Watching EasyRV parking available
The mix of open prairie, farmland edge, and lake habitat attracts waterfowl, songbirds, and deer throughout the year. Spring and fall migrations are particularly productive for birders.

How to get to Alexandria State Recreation Area
The park sits just north of the village of Alexandria in Jefferson County, Nebraska, accessed via local county roads off US Highway 136. Lincoln is roughly 70 miles to the northeast, about a 90-minute drive, and Omaha is approximately 130 miles northeast, about two and a half hours. Roads in the area are flat to gently rolling with no tunnels, steep grades, or mountain passes, making access straightforward for most RV sizes, though gravel county roads near the entrance may be rough after heavy rain. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Lincoln Airport (LNK), with Eppley Airfield (OMA) in Omaha as a larger alternative.
