New trails challenge kicks off?
Looking for ways to stay active and explore the outdoors? A new program, Your Parks Adventure, will help you do just that ? plus, you may win prizes for your adventures.
Choose from over 45 designated trails across the state, nearly half of which are ADA-accessible, and look for a sign that says "Trail Trek" located along the trail.
Then, you'll take a selfie with the sign and submit it online for a chance to win prizes, including a Nebraska state park cabin stay. The program has just begun and runs through Oct. 31, 2024, so there's plenty of time to participate.?
