ネブラスカの湖・トップ20

We saw turkey near here and the noise from the frogs was deafening! There must have been hundreds but we never saw a single one!

This is a great, mostly flat run. There are some small, barely noticeable hills. The only significant incline is over the dam, which is also gradual. There are great views of the lake and plenty of wooded areas on the path, too. All and all, a good run. Be prepared for some sun exposure, though. It's barely shady on the trail.

Holmes Lake Park is a regional park in Lincoln that features exercise paths, sporting fields, and a number of recreational amenities free to all users. This is a big park with several miles of paths, a huge lake, and a couple bridges.

The lake was created in 1977 for recreation and flood management. It was drained in 2006 for restoration and reopened in 2010. The lake is open to sailing and has a wide, concrete, partially shaded bike path that circumnavigates the lake.

The boardwalk takes you out over Carter Lake near the narrows. Interestingly, the view across to the peninsula within the crescent-shaped lake is of Iowa, even though the rest of the land west of the Missouri is Nebraska.

Zorinsky Lake was named after Senator Edward Zorinsky. The lake is 255 acres and is open to boating and fishing. In 2010, a zebra mussel was discovered, and the lake was partially drained to freeze and kill the invasive species.

The Two Rivers State Recreation Area, nestled along the Platte River in Nebraska, provides a picturesque backdrop for cyclists. Encompassing over 600 acres, it offers camping, picnic spots, serene lakes, and stunning river vistas, perfect for a cycling adventure.

The flat concrete trail around the lake is perfect for cycling and taking in the views. Just take care of other users of the path and be considerate.
