This is a little hidden gem of the Nebraska State Park System. The history is pretty neat.

Dead Timber was hit hard in the flood of 2019 but since 2021, you can see improvements each time we have come out.

It’s quiet and not overrun with people. The walking trails are nice and there’s a variety of plants and wildlife to enjoy.

We’ve camped on more than one occasion and have enjoyed it each time. Camp sites are clean and maintained. Camp hosts are friendly and make sure to check in to see if anything (like the bathroom) needs attention.

I’m honestly surprised more people do not utilise this State Park.
