Spalding Fish Passage Aquatic Habitat Project

The Cedar River flows through the hydropower dam south of Spalding, which causes a barrier to upstream fish movement. Starting in 2009 and finishing in 2016, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission collaborated with partners to build a fish bypass to allow migration around the barrier and allow fish populations, particularly channel catfish, to repopulate the Cedar River above.
