OMAHA’S OUTDOORS SPEND JUST 20 MINUTES IN NATURE AND FEEL HAPPIER, SO PACK COMFY SHOES AND EXPERIENCE OMAHA’S ALL-SEASONS BEAUTY
Find your zen in Omaha while taking in the sights and sounds of the great Midwest outdoors. Plan for a variety of rejuvenating fresh-air experiences across the city thanks to miles of tree-lined walking and biking trails, eight area lakes and two rivers, forest hiking, and an array of parks, gardens, and green spaces.
BIKING
Omaha’s trail system is called Paths of Discovery–each twist, each turn, winds through a different part of the city. More than 85 miles of paved interconnected trails invite walkers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters, and cross-country skiers. In Iowa, the Wabash Trace Nature Trail is a 63-mile rails-to-trails route stretching from southwest Iowa to northwest Missouri. Nearly 10 additional area trails, including those in Tranquility and Walnut Creek Parks, have dedicated trails for mountain biking. No bike? No problem. Heartland B-Cycle is the area’s bike sharing system with 300 classic bikes and 150 electric pedal assist bikes at over 70 stations across the Omaha metro.
CAMPING AND GLAMPING
Omaha campgrounds and RV parks are conveniently located near interstates, highways, and on the outskirts of the city near water. Each one promises a peaceful and picturesque way to spend the night. Glamping (or glamorous camping) is available at Lake Wanahoo, Eugene T. Mahoney State Park and Falconwood Park.
