Improvements to Iron Horse Park

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. - Iron Horse Park in North Platte will close temporarily throughout parts of the park for upgrades to angler access and other amenities.

Partial closure of Iron Horse Park, located south of the I-80 interchange at North Platte, will close temporarily for public access beginning March 3, 2022. The upgrades will include the development of five wooden fishing piers, a dock, kayak launch site, vegetation barriers and lighting fixtures.

The closures will be implemented at different areas of the park as construction progresses through this spring.
