A pond, with its sandy beach, is an oasis in the summer months and the North Platte River provides a natural habitat for a variety of wildlife, and for fishing, canoeing and rafting.
Today a visitor can utilize picnic tables, grills, group shelters, playgrounds and a launching ramp for canoes or rafts. |
