  • Absolutely a beautiful and wonderful place to go visit. We go every year and have stayed in most of the housing they have to offer. Horse back riding is a great thing to do. The girls at the stables are so sweet and caring. They take time to tell you about the horses and the property. Paddle boats are fun. A great workout. Waterfall and streams to walk through. Hiking nature trails, a wonderful park for the kiddos, look out towers, splash pad, archery if you want to shoot at something. You become one with the nature when you see the deer run in the forest, bald eagles soar over head, owls in the trees. I could go on and on... Best place at least on my top 3 for sure.
  • Omg 😲 why didn't we know about this park sooner??? This place is Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌🏻 We got asked to travel to this spot for a family photoshoot at the falls. Thankfully this family is very outdoorsy and knew the area - so we took a little hike around around the waters edge, up the hills by the old tent camping pads, and overlooking the Platte river. I'm not writing this place off for camping, and I'm curious about cabin rentals or summer time activities! 🤔 📸🎥💜 Will definitely recommend this place for next year's photo shoots.
  • We absolutely loved this park! Great overlook tower to visit. The teepee were fun to check out. Huuuuge playground with tons of options, even a zip line. The splash pad was excellent as well. We really enjoyed the short hike out to some of the falls too. Small hike, but doable for a 5 and a 6 year old. Looks like there are plenty of cabin options as well. Pretty decent 30 minute drive from omaha. We will definitely be visiting again, kids had a blast.
  • Our first trip to Platte River State Park was great! We hiked to the falls and then around the woods for about two hours! The trails were still a bit icy but it was quiet and peaceful and just what I needed! The falls were frozen but still beautiful! Looks like a fun place to be in the summer too.
  • Beautiful State park found 50 km away from Lincoln. You can see nice panoramic view when you get into tower. We observe herd of White tailed deer close to wild strawberry houses. Entrance fee 6 USD per car. (22/10/2022)
