Wildwood Lake encompasses 103 acres within a 491-acre wildlife management area in northern Lancaster County, Nebraska. The lake features a concrete boat ramp accessible via the northern access road off NW 84th Street, with a strict no-wake policy in effect for all watercraft.

Access is available through multiple entrance points: two on NW 84th Street (0.6 and 1 mile south of W Ashland Road), one on W Ashland Road (0.4 mile east of NW 98th Street), and one on NW 98th Street (0.15 mile south of W Ashland Road). The property recently underwent boat launch facility improvements in 2023 to address issues with heaved and cracked concrete on the ramp.

The lake environment includes more than 120 acres of virgin and native grass prairie surrounding the water, providing opportunities for wildlife viewing. Basic amenities include parking areas, restrooms (ADA-compliant), and an ADA-compliant fishing pier. No entry fee or permit is required for access, though proper fishing and hunting permits are necessary for those activities.

The lake was created as part of a flood control project and stands as the largest lake in the North Oak Watershed project. A 2002 fishery renovation enhanced the aquatic habitat. The lake's water quality is monitored regularly through the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy's harmful algal bloom sampling program.

Facilities for paddlers include the main boat ramp and parking areas. Camping is permitted on-site, with fire rings available, allowing for multi-day paddling excursions. The combination of no-wake restrictions and moderate lake size makes this an approachable destination for paddlers seeking a calm water experience.
