The bridge is part of the longest rail to trail conversions in the country. It gives a great vantage point for the Niobrara River and the amazing scenery that surrounds it. It’s a nice little hike.

I liked the Horse Park in North Platte. There were trees to keep us in the shade. There is 10 acres of water and 40 acres of land. I saw a fisherman, trying to get some fish. There are a lot of picnic tables, perfect for a meal. Hiking is also worthwhile to explore. Worthwhile!
8. Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail
This 3,700-mile trail follows in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark's expedition to find an overland route to the Pacific Ocean by way of the Columbia River.

We packed a picnic lunch and ate at one of the many picnic tables. There was also a fish hatchery that our kids loved walking around. We took our kids on the longer loop hike with our toddler in a backpack and enjoyed a nice, shady hike. Small fee to get in or admission is included with a Nebraska state parks pass.
