Nature Trails Information
*Trails are not open during the crane season
Public hiking trails have been developed at the site. Prairie trails
meander through beautiful flowers and grasses, ramble over sandy knolls
with cactus, and zigzag through fragrant groves of eastern red cedar.
Additional river-edge and riparian forest trails familiarize the hiker
with the Platte River. All trails start at the Nature Center. The trail
from the building over the pedestrian bridges to the edge of the prairie
is handicapped accessible. A thirty-five foot high observation tower is
located on the north bank of the Platte River.
