For those who believe there is nothing to see in Nebraska, this section of the state will surprise you. The Niobrara River is a charming waterway and the nearby wildlife preserves offer opportunities to see bison, elk and host of waterfowl.

The river offers opportunities for fishing, tubing and paddling. Canoe and tube rentals can be found in several places along the banks. Most offer shuttle services.

Numerous short hikes are possible through the wildlife preserves and state parks. Many offer views of the river and the many waterfalls that are near the Niobrara.
