This milestone is a unique opportunity to connect Nebraskans with the state’s rich natural, cultural, and outdoor heritage. To commemorate the occasion, park staff will be handing out free 250th Anniversary First Day Hike stickers.
Participants should dress for the weather and remember to bring snacks and water, and binoculars, if desired. Friendly pets are allowed on a six-foot leash. A valid 2026 Nebraska state park vehicle permit is required for entry and can be purchased at the park.
