👍👍 Had the MOST amazing experience walking this trail yesterday with my partner and dogs. The trees were gorgeous and only a few puddle along the trail after the early afternoon rain. At mile 3.5, it started pouring. So we embraced it, took our shoes off and walked in the muddy water the rest of the wa...

Park with a deep lake for fishing, boating & swimming, plus camping, nature trails & a tamarack bog.

👍👍 Great 1 mile uphill hike to a very nice waterfall. My 5 and 7 year old loved this hike yesterday. 90 degrees but not too bad as your moving up a valley walking above the creek most of the way.

👍👍 I visited this park on 7/18/2022. A lot of parking spaces, clean bathrooms. This trail is steep, sand but pay back with spectacular view at the end. Bring a lot of water, sunscreen, hat, camera, hiking shoes. It was an unforgettable.

👍👍 Great trails. No amenities, but the trails are well maintained. It’s a very relaxing place to visit, and I was happy to find a few hills in Omaha for hiking. You could easily spend the day here

👍👍 Great trail with terrain just like castle wood canyon..but free!

😠 This used to be a great dog park but has been completely ruined by the update. The trails are now paved which would be fine if they didn’t switchback through the entire area making it impossible for dogs to run freely. There’s also no grass and instead small rocks. All the vegetation has been fenced...

👍👍 If I lived in Denver, I’d come here every morning for a quick hit workout. The stairs are awesome. Not difficult to do but will give you a nice pump on your quads and out your lunches to work. I was here for about an hour, tan the stairs 4x and the full loop once. I saw kids and all age groups doin...

👍 The trail around Flanagan lake is very windy and cold. Be ready to wear layers. There are barely any trees, and not enough shade in summer. I like that there is a bridge, and I can walk for 2.5 miles instead of 5.5 miles. There is currently ongoing construction in many areas around the lake and by t...

👍👍 Beautiful trail around the lake. Great little spots all the way around that have nice rock work and table perfect for fishing and a picnic. Trail was easy and smooth enough even for strollers. Beautiful plant life as well.

👍👍 Beautiful place to see some great fall foliage! Nice trails, decent amount of parking and picnic tables

Picturesque natural hot springs in a small travertine pool with views of Surprise Falls.

👍👍 Just park in the cul-de-sac or on the street by the East/West trail head; there's no lot. Once you hike up a short ways, you will find the entrance gate to the Back Country. This is the Cowboy Up Trail, if you want to stay on the East/West Trail, stay to the left instead of going through the Back Co...

👍 A pleasant and scenic trail that ends at Susan Creek Falls. The trail is only about a mile long and a very easy walk over mostly flat terrain (very accessible). Various signs point out featured flora. The waterfall is very pretty and well worth the 15 minute walk (each way). Parking with restroo...

👍👍 It's just a beautiful hiking area with lots of trails to walk your dogs and ride your horses too. I would also like to say that you really need to beware of lots of rattlesnakes in the warmer times of the year, I have seen many so look out for them.

👍👍 Absolutely stunning hidden gem. The road down there was so fun to drive down, the views were otherworldly. A lot of the places I wanted to climb and get pictures of were private property, but honestly good for the home owners for keeping the area so beautiful. I got a lot of photos and edited them f...
