No matter where you live in Nebraska, from the biggest city to the most remote Sandhills ranch, you are never far from a public outdoor recreation area.
Many of these recreational opportunities; trails, lakes, parks, and wildlife areas are built and maintained by NRDs. Many NRD projects are developed for multiple purposes. Recreational trails are built atop of flood-control levees or along abandoned railroad lines. Dams built for flood-control often develop into recreational areas. Habitat areas and wetlands may be available to hunters and are often preserved for interpretive nature study.
