hike-bike trail bridge

Mark107

Not here! But great trail to go out to the river and the very long, and crowded, bridge. Lots of birders, just no birds (cranes) both nights we were there...they seem to be down more in the area of the Audubon Sanctuary. Great sunset views though and very good place to hear the cranes - just saw very few here but heard them in the distance...

Did not even know this was there even though I stop in Kearney all of the time. It is a beautifully landscaped paved trail that is next to the Archway monument.

Free access off of Kilgore Road to an old railroad bridge over the Platt River. The Sandhill Cranes use areas near the bridge for a nightly roost during their March migration to northern nesting areas. We watched about 5000 Cranes land within a mile of us!

The Hike/Bike Trail in this location is at Fort Kearny Recreation Area. I noticed some reviewers are talking about the paved trail that runs through Kearney. Both are nice trails, but be aware that this trail is only 1.5 miles long and starts at the recreation area. It does cross an old railroad bridge and is a very nice trail for wildlife viewing.

Since most of the land along the Platte River is privately owned, there are few opportunities to view sandhill cranes on their migration which take you to the river. The Hike-bike Bridge is one of the few. It's a short walk to the Bridge from the parking lot. The river is beautiful here, but your crane views are mainly limited to fly-overs as the cranes' primary landing site is further east on the river.

A very nice walk out across the Platte River and beyond over an old RR bed. Not much to see past the river.

It was all cement for 1.5 miles (est.) along a river's edge, out to a lake. Walking at 8:00 a.m. I saw two deer.

Nice view of cranes on Platte. Enjoyed the hike and the $5 entrance fee was resonable.

Kudos to the citizens of Kearney for building such a nice and well maintained bike/walk trail. It is a pretty ride along the Platte and the canal, and for this Colorado girl, it was nice to ride upon a level trail!

This is a neat and well maintained trail to enjoy biking or walking on.

Nice old railroad bridge across the Platte River on a nice stretch of trail

Love this trail, it is near our house & I am on it most days. It goes through Yanney Park which is a VERY nice family park-not a 6-pack toting softball park. Trail is several miles long (like 13 I think). You might see some wildlife just south of the bridge.

Never seen a bike trail like it..it cuts through three parks and has water all along the way for 10 miles.

Kearney's Hike/Bike trail from Country Club Lane to the University is where I walk every day. .......until now. Today I noticed a Good Samaritan Hospital sign.Whoever made the decision that Good Samaritan Hospital, the bully corporation that tried to pull a slimy one on the citizens with LB999, should have their head examined.Never again will I walk on the hike/bike trail where I have to see that sign.

This paved trail goes along the Platte River and eventually ends up at the museum that spans I-80. It is a good workout along flat terrain.
