Originally purchased 18 years ago, these 123 acres of wilderness have been preserved for the purpose of sharing the extraordinary beauty of nature which is especially unique for Eastern Nebraska. Varying throughout a network of canyons, wild grasslands, and sections of forest, this land has something to offer anyone.

With steep canyon walls and rugged terrain making up most of the topography, my wife and I have worked hard to build trails throughout the property for visitors to easily access and enjoy all that the land has to offer. These trails trickle across the fields & woodlands, around the top rim of canyon walls, and down into Maple Creek Canyon, offering a plethora of options for recreational activities.

With cropland surrounding the preserved wilderness, deer are frequently drawn to the area. Meanwhile, a healthy population of wild turkeys frolic about the fields, offering the potential for great success in the hunting season. We feature tree stands off & on, and hunters are encouraged to bring their own.

Maple Creek Canyon is a drug-free and alcohol-free property. We hope that our visitors will care for and respect the land as much as we do and leave it the way it was found. Please inquire about availability of on-site overnight lodging at Maple Creek Canyon. Schuyler is only 13 miles away on a 4-lane highway, with a variety of friendly overnight lodging and dining accommodations.

Property Visited

While visiting Maple Creek Canyon I saw signs of deer everywhere. Scrapes, rubs, beaten paths, were scattered all over the property. The Maple Creek running through the middle of the property offers a great source of water during the drought we are experiencing.

    I took my 9 and 13 yr old daughters to Paul's place to turkey hunt. We stayed onsite in his camper and my wife came and we made it a family trip. Paul has a beautiful farm. Everything you think about when Turkey hunting Nebraska. The hunting was tough as the birds were henned up and they go out into both creek drainages on the neighboring property during the day after flydown and come back in the late afternoon. Paul has the roost site for sure as we had all kinds of birds gobbling like crazy. It took me our time there to figure out what they do once they flydown and shutup. We didnt get to hunt as much as planned either as my brakes went out on my truck as soon as we got there so I spent most of our 2 whole days running for parts and fixing my brakes so we could get home. Our hunts consisted for a few hours in morning and evening. That didnt help us either. Paul was great in helping me get to town and get parts and giving me his truck to use while mine was down. We had an issue with the heat in camper and he was great about getting us some electric heaters. Paul was a great host. We would have liked to get the girls a bird but it just wasnt meant to be with what the birds were doing and my truck debacle. I would love to take them back there and try again sometime. Maybe later in the year when the wind doesnt blow and the toms arent so henned up and we can hunt more during the day . From what I saw driving around he has the biggest roost for a mile or so. Paul and his wife were great people and treated us all like family when we were there!

    I just love hosting families when they stay for several days and nights, taking the time to relax and get familiar with our lodging facilities, trails, and the complex ecosystems in the private wilderness at Maple Creek Canyon. Josh and his family of four stayed in our deluxe Grand Design travel trailer right on -premises. Although the adults did not hunt, Josh and his wife brought their 9 and 13 year old daughters out here to sharpen their turkey hunting skills over the opening weekend of Nebraska’s Youth Season. Although the girls did not make any kills, they got up early every morning and learned how to observe the daily movement of turkeys in the habitat from their father, who is also an outfitter on family hunting property in Illinois. Returning to camp from their evening hunts, they would light up a robust campfire in a fire pit and cook some meats and marshmallows under the starlit sky. Mechanical problems actually enhanced my friendship with Josh when we made a trip into town together to get some brake pads for his truck. Our Amazon Parrot and the 9 year old daughter exchanged a lot of laughter for when she gave him a bath with a spray bottle one day. We very much enjoyed the privilege of witnessing an extended Easter weekend of character building, for this wholesome and spirited family from Illinois.

    It amazes me to witness the skill level of various guests at Maple Creek Canyon. God gives each hunter special gifts. On the day before the Nebraska Whitetail rifle opener, I was giving an extensive guided tour of our complex terrain opertunities. Jade carefully scrutinized each site, instantly scrambling to the top of a tall tree, with no climbing gear, to scope things out. Sure enough, 15 minutes before the sun peaked over the horizon on opening day, Jade had bagged a very handsome buck from his perch, high in a tree overlooking the canyon.

    Paul has a great place. Ive been out a couple of times and have seen numerous turkeys. Ive seen quite a few mature gobblers and numerous jakes. I had several opportunities to harvest a bird , but have not sealed the deal yet. I will be back for sure. Paul is very helpful and goes above and beyond to help you in anyway he can.

    My friend and I traveled from NY to Nebraska to turkey hunt at Maple Creek. Paul was great on keeping me informed of the turkey population and what the birds tend to do in the area. Paul was also receptive to our hunting strategies and willing to give us a layout of the land. My friend and I were able to harvest two long beards and a Jake. It appears the turkeys are a young population with great potential for the next few years. Overall, my experience at Maple Creek Canyon was excellent and expectations were met.

    Mark and Mason are two avid hunters who drove all the way from New York to Maple Creek Canyon, hoping to get a shot at the beautiful variety of Nebraska turkeys at Maple Creek Canyon. I gave them a complete 8 mile tour on Friday afternoon. But they didn’t want me driving in too far so as not to spook the birds. We could see several wild turkeys from a distance. Early Saturday morning these able-bodied young men quietly hiked in the dark to a remote area where the turkeys roost. At sunup, my wife and I heard 3 pops. A few minutes later I received the following message: “We are very grateful for this opportunity to hunt you’re beautiful land. The limit is three turkeys per person in Nebraska. There are definitely a lot of birds on you’re property. It was an amazing hunt. I killed two male turkeys and mason killed one. We are headed west to try to find some more to hunt.”

    Eric and his 17-year-old son were very respectful and friendly during their 6 day bow hunt for Whitetail Deer at Maple Creek Canyon. Since they stayed in our Grand Design Camper right on the property, they got to know the topography and habitat really well. They donned waterproof boots, strapped portable tree stands on their backs, and stalked game all over our rugged terrain. It was fun watching them on our game cameras, chasing a coyote that was chasing a deer. The best part was witnessing their tight father-son relationship. LandTrust brings us quality hunters of exemplary character. We are honored to offer the unique experience of a week-long Maple Creek Canyon adventure in Eastern Nebraska!

    Good property, plenty of game, just couldn’t get a mature buck to present me an opportunity of a harvest. North property is a little difficult to get to as well as the west side of the creek. Paul was great to work with and will most likely be back.

    Land Trust is bringing us a high caliber of hunting enthusiasts. Brian was our first guest for the opening weekend of deer rifle season. He also hunts archery, and I hope to see him back soon, since we are only an hour from Omaha.
