The Oregon Trail Golf Course is a nine-hole regulation length golf course a few miles from the lake in Sutherland, Nebraska. The short layout has adequate length for a regulation course.

Ice fisherman should take care during the winter - heated water discharged from the power plant can cause thin areas in the ice.
