Description:
The Bison Trail runs across southwestern Lincoln from Pioneers Park to West Van Dorn and S. 1st Streets. This scenic pathway offers a view of the capitol over the tree line and is especially popular with bicyclists.

Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, Pioneers Park will no longer be accessible from the trail until a replacement pedestrian bridge into the park has been completed (estimated by spring 2012).

This trail takes you out to Pioneers Park from the west edge of the city. As you leave Pioneers Park you'll notice the trail appears to be going straight to the Capitol. A very nice visual.

As of 2010 the trail is closed due to a bridge (from the 1930's) being unsound. The city is working on a fix and has indicated it may be rebuilt in the next few years.

There is no good route around the bridge using the trail if you are not comfortable with highways.
