State Parks
Spend some time camping, hiking and watching the wildlife at one of Nebraska’s great parks. Rent a cabin at Ponca or Mahoney or crunch the leaves as you walk the trails at Indian Cave on a brisk afternoon. All are great places to see critters preparing for the cold winter months, so bring your binoculars.
