River City Chapter: hike at Platte River State Park
Because the Neale Woods hike is weekday daytime event, which many of us RCNMN cannot fit around work, an alternate weekend hike has also been scheduled as a "consolation event".
What: RCNMN hike at Platte River State Park
Where: Platte River State Park, 14421 346th St, Louisville, NE 68037
There is an entry fee for Nebraska State Parks, either by the day or with an annual pass.
When: Saturday, September 26th, 9:30 AM
Details: Bring your usual gear for a hike. This hike is not planned as a guided continuing education event. We are hoping to avoid crowds and have a better chance of seeing wildlife by mainly hiking the trails east of the bridge over Decker Creek, rather than the popular trails around the waterfall. Horse rentals are shut down this year, so the eastern trails have received less traffic than usual. Those participating can discuss details and whether or not they want to pick up trash as a service activity. The meeting spot is currently the bridge over Decker Creek, but will be finalized a few days before the hike by those who RSVP to Judy (jebouma1@gmail.com).
