Plan your trip to northeast Nebraska, where you can find our state’s first Venture Park system, a collection of expanded opportunities and amenities at four popular state park and recreation areas along the Platte River. Head a little farther north and you’ll have a chance to see the state’s oldest tree at Ponca State Park, where you also can learn a new outdoor skill. Throughout the northeast, you can find dozens of fishing, hiking, biking, trail riding, wildlife viewing and camping opportunities.
