A walk through Nebraska is scenic and spectacular no matter what season you're in. Winter offers an opportunity to explore the state in a different phase. Snowy and peaceful landscapes are calm settings for a hike, and keep an eye out for wildlife, including prime bald eagle viewing opportunities at several locations.
Sledding, ice skating and cross-country skiing
Grab a hill and take advantage of a fresh snowfall. Several state parks have those rolling landscapes you're looking for, and Eugene T. Mahoney State Park makes its own snow for sledding thrill-seekers. Or you can test your balance and give ice skating a whirl.
Maybe you want to get extra adventurous and try cross-country skiing. Trails are available at places like Pioneers Park and Ponca State Park, or you can get off the well-traveled routes for a real challenge.
