From the cliffs and buttes of the Badlands out west to the Sandhills, one of the world’s largest regions of grass-stabilized sand dunes, to the Missouri River shaping our eastern border — plus, a million sandhill cranes that stopover each spring — “The great outdoors” is an understatement here. You’ll be amazed when you lay eyes on our natural attractions. 

So get outside and start exploring. Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery on a nature hike. You’ll find uncrowded trails, quiet moments and stunning views as far as the eye can see. Dip a toe in a lake or river. Try it Nebraska-style on a tanking trip. Take a scenic drive through a state park, recreation area, national monument or along a byway. You may even spot some wildlife on your journey. And there’s no slowing down come winter. Our wide-open spaces offer four seasons of outdoor fun.
