Travel the more than 50 trails in this year’s Your Parks Adventure: Trail Trek for a chance to explore trails in your area or discover news ones at locations across Nebraska.
There’s a chance to win prizes, too.
Launching May 17 and running through Oct. 31, the challenge invites people to explore designated trails across Nebraska, snap a picture with the Trail Trek sign featuring Kit the Raccoon, and submit it online at YourParksAdventure.com.
Trails are located at Nebraska Game and Parks areas, as well as participating city, county, federal and Natural Resource District areas.
“Walking, biking, or hiking trails is a great way to spend time with family or friends,” said Bob Hanover, of Game and Parks, “and a great way to boost your mental and physical health while surrounded by Nebraska’s natural beauty.”
Trail Trek signs typically are posted within a mile of trailheads, and nearly half of the trails are accessible for people with disabilities. Find the designated list of trails, a map and additional trail details at YourParksAdventure.com.
People can participate alone or with a team.
Each trail visit and entry qualifies participants for possible prizes. The more trails people visit, the more chances they have to win outdoor gear, a two-night cabin stay at a Nebraska State Park, an annual subscription to Nebraskaland Magazine, and more.
The challenge is supported by the Nebraska Recreation and Park Association and Papio Missouri River Natural Resources District.
