The Cowboy Recreation and Nature Trail sections near Neligh and Long Pine have reopened to the public after repairs were made from the 2019 Elkhorn River flood.
Repairs 2 miles west of Neligh included bank stabilization and new trail surfacing. Trail users now can enjoy a closer view of the Elkhorn River in this area. Repairs a mile east of Long Pine included installation of new culverts, rebuilding the embankment, and trail surfacing.
See an interactive map of the trail and closed sections, at OutdoorNebraska.gov/guides-maps/maps/. More information on the trail may be found at OutdoorNebraska.gov.
