At the east edge of town at jct Hwy 370 & Payne Dr at the Missouri River.
The Flood Waters have gone down Significantly. However there is so much damage..... it's Heartbreaking to see.
But on a brighter note, at neighboring Hero's Park....the Flags and Memorial are Standing Nebraska Strong
Beautiful park. Not fully recovered from the mass flooding a few years ago. Concrete pads have crumbled from the flooding. Gave us a spot that had standing water. Although there had recently been terrible thunderstorms, there should be better drainage. No pull throughs, so even though it was just an overnight stay, I had to disconnect my toad. Has a lot of potential. I would stay again. Easy access to and from Interstate 29.
Love this park! Ive been coming here as a child to play and now I take my niece and nephew to play here. We love watching the river, fishing, and throwing/ skipping rocks into the water. There is 3 different playgrounds for the kids, a baseball field, tennis court and plenty of camping space. This place is filled with so many memories!
Really nice park. The camp host was super friendly and reservations were really simple. The camp host showed up with fresh corn straight from the stalk and potatoes from his garden. Really nice people . They have water and electric at the site and a dump station. I would definitely stay here again. Also the sites are an easy back in with plenty of shade
I actually started just south of the park in a lot by where Bellvue loop trail starts. It was 10.16 miles roundtrip. All concrete, I was pleasantly surprised since all of it is in the country. There is no shade any where along this trail where I was. I hiked over to another parking lot where next time I will start there and go east. This trail runs south of Offit AF base and you can here and see jets taking off. All around it was very pleasant to walk. Very peaceful. Wasn't really alot to take pics of. Your not to far from the Missouri River. I was just looking and to where I will start next time I will have over 21 miles left to the end of the trail. It turns into keystone trail.
