Nebraska’s Platte River State Park is conveniently located between Omaha and Lincoln. While the park’s main draw is the luxuriously restored vintage cabins, there’s plenty to do for a day trip. Enjoy the trails for hiking, cycling, or bird watching. Along Crawdad Creek, children will find interactive displays that encourage them to explore the water for tiny creatures. The Creek flows into the man made and newly renovated Jenny Newman Lake. Take a canoe or kayak ride along Decker Creek, one of the stopovers along the Platte River Water Trail. Dine at the restaurant within the Walter Scott Jr. Lodge.
