Members of the Nebraska Fish and Game Association have installed a fishing line recycling bin at the west picnic shelter at Davis Creek Recreation Area. The NEFGA has installed recycling bins at 24 lakes and parks around the state and turns in the used fishing line to be recycled into underwater fish habitat.

The recreation area, operated by the Lower Loup Natural Resources District, is located about five and a half miles south of North Loup.

The fishing line recycling program was started by the NEFGA in 2008. The recycling bin at Davis Creek Recreation area was installed by Association members Ken Fankhauser of Kearney, Corey Clay of Broken Bow and Corey Malm of Kearney on April 25, 2009. Each of the recycling bins is sponsored by an individual or company concerned with protecting the outdoors.
