Description:
City owned and operated. Located on the east side of Seward Nebraska. Starts in the north east corner and runs to the south east corner of the city.
The Plum Creek Trail is named after the local creek that it follows, Plum Creek. The trail starts on the southwest corner of the city's largest green grass commons area- city park, that's kept mowed and trimmed for kids of all ages to play.
The trail winds past playground equipment, two flush toilets, at least two water hydrants, several baseball diamonds with bleachers, a flower garden, and 5 bridges across Plum Creek, in which you can view the stream below. As it follows this creek, it's into either cottonwood or locust tree stands, or into a wetland area, or into a native tall grass area. One toilet only open in the summer and early fall. The other toilet is only open during city baseball games.
There are about 6 parking lots, the first two are large (on the north end), and the others are very small, all crushed stone.
The trail goes under a major highway bridge and comes out beside a Historical Marker with parking, picnic tables, shelter and grill.
It ends shortly to the south of this Historical Marker.
Its endpoints are on the cities concrete sidewalks, it contacts 2 other city sidewalks for a total of 4 sidewalk connections. It's entirely city owned and operated. I called the Citys Parks people and they informed me that they plan to add another 2 miles to the trail running west from its southern endpoint.
It's viewable on "MapQuest aerial view".
