👍👍 Casper Bluff is good for an intermediate level walk, with more hills than you might expect and nice, wide mowed grass paths that lead along the river and next to some forest and much open grasslands. More benches than you can shake a stick at, so if you need a rest, you'll have ample opportunities.

👍 Meh. The bridge is closed off. The trail is a somewhat scenic, somewhat noisy (farm equipment) through prairie/ young woods. Flanked by private property.. a grueling uphill climb, a little overgrown and difficult to follow. The views of the river are worth checking it out. Bring a camera & a snack.
