Dark Island Trail

Dark Island Trail - Central City Nebraska -Memorial Day weekend 2023

May, 2023 by judykjensen

The first 4 miles of the trail going south from Central City is really nice. The long bridge over the Platte allows for excellent viewing of the river. The tree lined canopy traveling farther along was very pretty. Once riders cross HWY 14 and proceed on towards Marquette, the trail became increasing difficult to ride even with medium width bike tires. The trail surface of powdery fly ash was deep. It also appeared that new limestone/crushed rock gravel had recently been added to the trail but not graded, thus making it too difficult to continue riding. Perhaps fat tire bikes would be able to traverse this section but definitely not road or hybrid tire bikes. A very peaceful and pastoral trail to ride, but unfortunately the final 3 or so miles is too hard to really bike. Nice restroom facilities and picnic area at the trailhead in Central City.

Skyline Trail (NE)

Fun little trail

May, 2023 by ftsfy2f4ff

If you live anywhere near this trail and are looking for a quick 30-60 min ride- this is a great little trail. It’s paved the entire way - less a few transitions here and there- and is a very smooth ride start to finish. Plenty of shade for the bulk of the ride as well. Nothing too fancy, but if you have a limited amount of time and just need to go blow off a little bit of steam, this is perfect!

MoPac Trail East

Close to the Omaha Metro - Nice Trail!

May, 2023 by bikrgurl

Parked in the new trailhead in Wabash NE complete with toilet facilities and gravel lot for 20 cars. Rode to Eagle and back. Clean and beautifully maintained crushed gravel trail. Nice bridges. You could probably ride a road bike on it because it was fairly smooth. I rode a mountain bike and my friend had a hybrid. Appx 27 mi round trip. Less than a 40 min drive from Omaha and 45 from Council Bluffs IA.

Great American Rail-Trail

Great Allegheny Trail southeast of Pittsburgh?

April, 2023 by eshawger

Surprised to see this amazing trail that has great bed and breakfasts along it is not noted as part of the Great American Rail Trail. It sure would help demonstrate more GART completion if it was.

Regular events, great scenery, new trailhead at Wabash

April, 2023 by marie11

Nice trailhead now open at Wabash.
This is a great trail, easy to ride, very scenic, many small friendly towns along the way. Well packed, crushed limestone.
Every Tuesday May - September is the "Nacho Ride" to Eagle.
6 Thursdays in the summer "The Pie Ride" to Elmwood happens
Details are at bikecasscounty.com
Best news: project to complete "the gap" from Wabash to South Bend is started. At each end there is a kiosk with a map of the interim route which is on low traveled gravel roads and a country highway.

Pawnee Park Trail

Great Park trail - Good connection toward downtown Columbus

March, 2023 by joelripke

The Pawnee Park trail is a good quality concrete trail in Pawnee Park. It connects through the park with many rest, relaxation, and recreation opportunities.

The east terminus of the trail is at 26th avenue, a short little walk, run, or bike into downtown Columbus!

Wehrspann Lake Trail

There are paved concrete trails throughout the park as well as dirt hiking trails. The park has an abundance of wildlife to include a large herd of deer, turkeys, raccoons and a pair of nesting bald eagles.

MoPac Trail (Springfield)

Fall ride

November, 2022 by bkbeek

Overall, the trail was in good shape. A few horse piles, as well as dog droppings, but not horrible. 1 tree branch down, but easily passed through.
I went both ways from the Louisville trailhead by the highway and it was a good ride with some fun bridges.

Easy access from I 80 if you are passing through. Beautiful trail with lot's of rail road history.

Steamboat Trace Trail

It's getting there..

October, 2022 by elizabeth.ann.huls

The portion between Peru and Brownville has recently been reopened since the 2019 floods. There are portions of extremely loose, fine gravel. Not suitable for thin tires.

Hopefully a few rains and continued traffic will pack the trail.

There are soft spots on the portion between NE City and Peru, as well, but the material is squishier. Seems to be ground up asphalt.

At the end of the day, gorgeous trail that's on the mend from a "500-year" flood.

Great Trail!! Worth the stop!!

September, 2022 by luv2biketoo

44.3 miles out and back. Beautiful ride through cornfields and trees… Good amount of shade. The only downside is no water available on the trail so make sure you have plenty!
