Along The Niobrara
Nature lovers and food enthusiasts can joyously come together for a trip up to the northern part of our state! We've highlighted three destinations along the Niobrara River where you can explore Niobrara State Park's waterways and trails, enjoy a beer or two from one of the Sandhills' favorite breweries, and top it all off by stopping at Auntie D's for your home's newest decorative doodad.
Niobrara State Park – Niobrara, NE
Whether it’s a hot summer day and you’re floating down the cool river in a kayak or it’s a cool autumn evening at a campfire, there’s something for everyone at Niobrara. There are horseback riding trails to bring your four-legged companions on and hiking trails to drag your two-legged companions down! It’s a great spot for adventurers of all ages and interests!
Auntie D’s Gift and Coffee Shop – Valentine, NE
If you’re in the area, this store is a stop you won’t want to miss! Filled from floor to ceiling with beautiful décor pieces and gift ideas, you get to browse the stock while sipping on a delicious latte (or frappucino…or black coffee…you get the gist).
Bolo Beer Co. – Valentine, NE
Bolo Beer prides itself on offering up an honest, unpretentious craft beer experience. Brewed with the Ogallala Aquifer’s pure water, all of their beers go down quite easily…especially when you’re drinking them while playing a game of cornhole in their beer garden! We highly recommend the Wild Plum Gose if you’re looking for a refreshing, warm weather beer.
