Few sites are less appealing than a pile of trash on the bank or an empty beer can floating downriver. Respecting the rights of land owners will help ensure high quality canoeing experiences in Nebraska for many years to come. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has established a canoe trails program designating parts of seven rivers as canoe trails. Nebraska Canoe Trails campsites are spaced at about one-day intervals, many accessible only from the river. Camp facilities are basic.
Few campsites have drinking water, and most are on private land.
Some canoe trail rivers, and others, are serviced by outfitters who offer equipment rental, shuttle service and complete trip packages. For more information on the Canoe Trails program or outfitters contact the Game and Parks Commission in Lincoln for a Nebraska Canoe Trails brochure or a list of Nebraska canoe outfitters.
