Steamboat Trace Trail

Could be good

May, 2025 by djcru68

If you take it do it from Peru to Brownsville. I did it from Neb City all the way to Brownsville and the first part was not maintained at all and then a boring 5 miles thru a farm. In Peru they have a nice bathroon if it was open. I get real mad knowing these trail town get money to maintain this stuff yet allot do nothing especially in Nebraska. Once again no trash cans, bathrooms and honestly except Brownsville no real towns to speak of and it was a long ride when you have to do it there and back. I think Peru to Brownsville if fixed up and maintained could host some cool biking events and add some running events in it. Its got some nice views.

Warden to Lind

April, 2025 by howmarplus3

Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.

Steamboat Trace Trail

Has potential

March, 2025 by crjdajab_mom

Went from Peru to Brownville. Definitely more utilized than Brownville to end.

Antelope Creek Trail

Continuation of Billy Wolff, but much more scenic all the way thru

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

As the title says, this is a continuation of the Billy Wolff Trail, but unlike it, it runs through neighborhoods and wooded areas the entire time. The former starts out downtown in the decidedly city area with not a lot of scenery. P.S. You’d be forgiven for thinking this is part of Billy Wolff; I only just now learned that this is technically a different trail after it comes out of Holmes Lake and curves around the dog park. Even the sign there says “Billy Wolff”!

Great American Rail-Trail

such a beautiful trail!

October, 2024 by sherryschie

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.

You need to take this trail off the app. The worst trail in America may be the world. God bless you all.

Antelope Creek Trail

Pleasant trail

May, 2024 by ksteen1

Nice for biking and walking. Passes by a playground and some scenic woodsy areas as well as some residential. Not a very challenging trail in terms of hills.

The pipe after the Platte River bridge is bent.

May, 2024 by linda_03

The guard pipe on the south side of the Platte bridge is bent. This narrows the distance between the top of the Guard pipes. It wasn’t enough space for my bicycle handlebars to fit through and so I crashed. I know you don’t want motorized vehicles on the bridge, but the pipes are too tall and interfere with bicycle handlebars, especially when one of them is bent inward. Why can’t the top of the bars be about 10 inches lower? Thank you

Wabash Trace Nature Trail

Lots a twigs but overall great

April, 2024 by aeboe

Shenandoah to Malvern. We rode in significant wind (35 mph gusts). We could feel it in the openings and braced for it, but protected by the trees otherwise. Lots of twigs down and one tree down. Had to be mindful of what you were riding over. Surface otherwise was really nice. We were the only riders on the trail in April.

Steamboat Trace Trail

Needs work.

October, 2023 by crjdajab_mom

I rode trail from most farthest southern point to Brownville. The trail is not there. Bridge you cross is sketchy. Hopeful that Brownville to Peru is better.

Wabash Trace Nature Trail

Great trail, but soft after a rain

August, 2023 by mrmikesch

Camped in our motorhome at Boehner Park, campground in Malvern. Only 100 yards from the campground to the trail. Day number one we rode north from Malverne to Silver city. 16 miles round-trip. Day number two, we rode Malverne to Shenandoah. 48 miles round-trip. Majority of the sections we rode were tree covered. Great for the shade, but the trail was soft and rotted, as it had rained two days earlier.
