This is a great outdoor area just outside of Kearney. There is a frisbee golf course, tons of hiking trails, swimming, fishing and even a petting zoo for those who have small children. Also they have some awesome hills that make a great place to go sledding! More

There is a snackshack and a place to rent paddle boats. Tons of shaded picnic areas. There is also a small barn... More
