Nebraska Travel Info by Region

Nebraska is a diverse state, with rolling grasslands, astonishing sandhills, meandering rivers, ancient oak forests, and cosmopolitan cities. Outdoor recreation is abundant here. There are miles and miles of quiet and rushing rivers, for peaceful floats or exciting rides down the rapids. Hikers are delighted by trails through the dry sandhills of the northwest or the woods of the northeast. Fishermen are drawn to the Prairie Lakes Region. Bikers enjoy the many scenic byways.

An enormous amount of history has flowed through Nebraska, particularly during the westward expansion of this country, and it is fascinating to explore that history in depth. This land was – and is – peopled by Native Americans. Settlers of European descent traveled here in search of lush farmland and a better life. Lewis and Clark spent a great deal of time here, exploring the Missouri River and surrounding land.
