Chalco Hills consists of 1,186 acres (4.80 km2) of which 246 acres (1.00 km2) is covered by Wehrspann Lake, an artificial reservoir.

The Dam was built by the Corps of Engineers and the recreation area is managed by the Natural Resources District.

Wehrspann Lake is a man-made reservoir that covers 246 acres (1.00 km2) and is up to 30 feet (9.1 m) deep.[1] It is located on tributary streams that flow into Papillion Creek.[2] A "universally accessible" fishing pier and boat launch provide fishing access to Wehrspann Lake. On the southeast side of the lake, a waterfowl viewing platform permits closer observation of the numerous species of birds that frequent the area.[3] The lake is stocked with a variety of fish species including bluegill, channel and blue catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, walleye, and carp.
