Recreation Southwest Nebraska is an outdoor recreation paradise with exceptional hunting and fishing opportunities abound.  Grant is located on the border of the Platte and Frenchman Units which are some of the most coveted areas for quality hunting in the state of Nebraska.  The area has easy access to thousands of acres of public walk-in hunting and is within a short drive of both northwest Kansas and northeast Colorado.  This gives hunters the opportunity to hunt all three states on the same day if they want.  This home is also just a short drive from several local lakes and reservoirs such as Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area, Lake McConaughey as well as Swanson Lake, Rock Creek SWA, Sutherland Reservoir. These lakes offer exceptional fishing and water sports as well as waterfowl and big game hunting opportunities.

Region & Climate Perkins County is located in southwestern Nebraska, part of the High Plains region. It has a semi-arid climate, characterized by hot summers, cold winters, and moderate rainfall. The area receives about 17 to 21 inches of rain annually, with the majority falling in the spring and early summer. Summers are hot, with highs averaging 85°F to 95°F (29°C to 35°C) in July, occasionally exceeding 100°F (38°C) during heatwaves. Winters are cold, with lows ranging from 10°F to 20°F (-12°C to -6°C) in January.

The growing season typically lasts from late April to early October, and irrigation is essential due to the region’s dry conditions, especially during summer when rainfall is scarce. The fertile soils of Perkins County support crops like corn, wheat, and soybeans, which rely heavily on irrigation from wells and local reservoirs.
