We asked the locals about their favorite places to admire the fall foliage, and they delivered! Here are five places where once you arrive, you won’t want to leaf.
Soaring Wings Vineyard and Brewery
Who wouldn't want to kick back and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sun set over the changing leaves? You'll find this serene setting less than 30 mins from Omaha.
Ash Hollow State Historical Park
There are plenty of trees to be seen at this Northwest Nebraska park, but you'll also get to spot some wagon ruts left over from Oregon Trail travelers!
Indian Cave State Park
There's a reason Indian Cave State Park is one of Nebraska's most popular autumn destinations: this Southeast treasure is a sea of color each fall. You'll just have to go experience it for yourself.
Fontenelle Forest
Strolling through this forest during fall is an absolute must, especially since it's so close to the Omaha area.
Ponca State Park
Nestled along the Missouri River in Northeast Nebraska, Ponca's boasts some of the state's most scenic fall foliage in its winding bluffs. Reserve a cabin or enjoy some autumn camping, plus enjoy the park's annual Hallowfest celebration in October.
