If you live in central Nebraska, come on out for the Fort Kearny Expo on May 13, where you can learn more about birds and make bird-related crafts. Those in western Nebraska can enjoy a birding hike at Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area on May 20. Eastern Nebraska events include a Mothers’ Day breakfast and bird walk May 14 in Lincoln, and bird observation and identification at Indian Cave State Park on May 27.

Repaving at Indian Cave State Park Continues

September 3, 2015 3 Comments


LINCOLN – The repaving of roads within Indian Cave State Park in southeast Nebraska continues. The road to Hackberry Hollow Campground has been finished.

Currently, work is being done to the road to the Ash Grove Campground, the Cave road, and the boat ramp road. There is no access to the boat ramp at this time; however there is river access at nearby Brownville.

Over Labor Day weekend, the Cave road will be temporarily open to allow access to the Cave.  After Labor Day weekend, the road will be closed to continue with asphalt placement.

Work will be continued through the rest of this year and into 2016. The completion date of the Cave road is unknown at this time, but it is a priority to have this completed.

The one-way loop will be open during Indian Cave’s Haunted Hollow Hayrack rides in October.

For more information, contact the park at 402-883-2575 or email at ngpc.indian.cave@nebraska.gov. Indian Cave is located 2 miles north and 5 east of Shubert in Nemaha and Richardson counties.

This project is administered by the Nebraska Department of Roads through the State of Nebraska Recreation Road Program.
