Loup Canal

The canal then runs from Lake North to a second hydroelectric plant near Columbus with a generating capacity of 40,000 kW.

In 1933, an African American architect named Archie Alexander (1888-1958) was hired to design Loup River Power Plant.

Renowned as a bridge and road builder across the country, Alexander is thought to be the first Black architect to design a civic structure in the Nebraska.

A recreation system of parks, lakes and trails extends along the canal; these facilities are owned and operated by Loup Power District.
