Schramm Park State Recreation Area

We love hiking at Schramm Park. The trails are easy to navigate and cleared. There are a few different routes you can take so it makes for a great, diverse day of hiking. We always love getting to the suspension bridge too!

Very nice park for short or long hike. Fish hatchery is pretty amazing and at the cost of $6 per car is a very fair price to go out and enjoy. There was some other camp sites that seemed to not be taken care of which if the park is to attract people should clean the tall weeds up. The river is just across the road and you can rent a kayak at Louisville for $30 or so.
Fun place!!
Outside that, highly recommend

Fun indoor education center, reading nook with art supplies, interactive educational prompts by each animal, sensory play, bird watching, touch tank... It goes on and on.
Great place to rest, clean updated restroom, indoor and outdoor play area, great landscaping.

The trails were awesome. The main trails were wider, either packed dirt or gravel. There are hills and tree roots so the terrain varies. Lots of shade. The fish hatchery museum was not open but the area around it was interesting to look at. The geological site was pretty neat, too. Will definitely plan to visit again.

The park's most prominent feature is its pristine spring-fed pond, a tranquil oasis surrounded by lush greenery and hiking trails. The clear waters of the pond are perfect for fishing, and the scenic trails provide a delightful opportunity to explore the park's natural beauty. It's an ideal spot for picnicking, birdwatching, and wildlife observation, offering a sense of serenity and rejuvenation.

One of the unique aspects of Schramm Park is its educational facilities. The Ak-Sar-Ben Aquarium within the park provides fascinating insights into the aquatic life of Nebraska, with informative exhibits and interactive displays that engage and educate visitors of all ages. The park also hosts educational programs, making it an excellent destination for families and those interested in learning more about the local ecosystem.

The park staff is knowledgeable and passionate about the park's natural and cultural history, and they are always eager to share their expertise with visitors. Their enthusiasm adds depth to the overall experience and provides valuable insights into the park's ecosystem.

Schramm Park State Recreation Area is well-maintained, with clean facilities, picnic areas, and nature trails. It's a perfect location for a day trip, a weekend escape, or a serene retreat, offering a blend of outdoor adventure and educational opportunities.

Great walking trails!

Had a great time walking around here. I suggest taking a picture the trail map at the begining, as there are a couple of trails not marked. The main 2 loops are marked. The suspension bridge was pretty cool! Trails are well kept but there are a few short but steep inclines. I also happened upon a tree with christmas ornaments! One bulb had a photo in it. Very intriguing!

Love it here! Pups are welcomed as long as they are leashed!

(Pups were unleashed briefly for the picture. They both have proper training and always leashed in public and on trails)

This place is pretty great for hiking! We do the 3 mile loop, which has variation with ups and downs. The scenery is pretty and the trail is well marked! Would definitely recommend!!

Great park on the river,love the trails and the suspension hiking Bridge.will be going back again

We love Schramm! Perfect trails for toddler hikes, a playground, fishery ponds with 25 cent fish food, river access, lots of picnic tables, and restrooms.

Did not know they were doing construction on the park area so we couldn’t use the park but we hiked instead and that was just as fun

A wonderful State Park along the valley of the Platte River that provides amazing views in the drive there. The bottom area provides a place to stop and have a picnic, feed some fish and check out a "archaeological" area. It also provides some great hiking trails. They provide 2 trails that can be combined to give you a nice 2 mile hike. The trail follows down to a cool suspension bridge and you can get down into the creek area and explore the rocks. The trip back takes you through the forest to a high area of pine trees. They also have a nice playground and picnic pavilion up the hill as well. Take a moment on your road trip and stop and visit this amazing place.

Awesome public facility between Omaha & Lincoln. Right across the street from the Platte River. Plenty to check out..super unique place!

Such a wonderful place! Beautiful trails and plenty to do!

Almost completely shaded trails make it easy to hike when it’s hot. The trail we like isn’t too hard so it’s great for kids and easy to access.

Always an autumn time tradition!! Great-diverse trail. Suspension bridge, old creek bed, lots of exploring to be done.

I took my two year old grandchild to the educational center at Schramm Park, and it was simply fantastic. There was so much to do, and she loved the animals, makers space and play area. She got in free, and it was only $10 for me to get in. Highly recommend this place for anyone with little kids. Great.

Geese were fun to feed. Nice play ground too. Very peaceful area to picnic and play at.

This was a great family activity. Shaded hiking which wasn't difficult.
