August has arrived! Summer may be slowly slipping away, but that means the weather gets cooler! So, this week we are sharing all about State Parks and State Recreation Areas that would be easy to visit for a day trip for anyone in Northeast Nebraska.
Pack a lunch. Pack the bikes. Pack the fishing poles, swimsuits, and sunscreen. Whatever you do and wherever you go have fun and make more memories before the school year starts!
