The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Crew Club (UNLCC) is the
UNLCC has a boathouse on campus at 16th and "Y" Streets in Lincoln. What was formerly an autobody repair shop, and then an empty building on campus, became the boathouse when the crew took over in the late 1970s. Practices are held at both the boathouse and the lake, with many indoor rowing machines and one of the few indoor rowing tanks in the midwestern United States.
The club has the use of Branched Oak Lake, which is 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Lincoln. The 1,800-acre (7 km2) lake allows for 2,500 meters of rowing from the dam to the dock, and 1,500 meters from the dam to the end of the cove. The Lincoln West Optimist Club allows the club to store their boats, dock, and trailer on site year-round.
