The trail system is also available to cross country skiers during the winters, and Schramm SRA is also an ideal locale for this increasingly popular cold-weather sport. Hikers may spot any of several wildlife species while tramping the trails, including cottontail rabbits , squirrels, coyotes , foxes, white-tailed deer , raccoons , opossums , and skunks. Bird watchers, too, can have a real field day, and a checklist of birds apt to be sighted on the area is available at the aquarium. The many rock formations unique to this region are interpreted in the geologic exhibit.
Displays there identify the various strata and formations.

However, the parking lot at the aquarium is exempt from park permit requirements. For All Seasons,Schramm is a quite special area you'll want to visit again and again. A series of 12 dioramas now fill the 12 tanks that once served as aquariums, and they trace the evolution of fish in Nebraska. Fossils from the era help depict those ancient times.
