Commissioners to consider 2026 mountain lion season
NGPC staff will make recommendation for 2026 hunt season at Aug. 22 Commission meeting in McCook.
The Burr Oak Loop at Schramm Park State Recreation Area near Gretna will be closed to vehicle access due to construction beginning Sept. 5.
Because of the closure, which will last until spring of 2024, access to the playground and upper picnic shelters on the east side of the park will be unavailable. Schramm’s hiking trails will remain open though there will be no vehicle access at the upper trailhead on the loop.
Construction at the park continues as the historic canyon ponds are being rebuilt to address accessibility issues, dam leakage and roadway replacement.
