Report: Toadstool Park(approximately 15 miles north of Crawford: Unlike anywhere else in the state. Pretty isolated geological area, moonscape with toadstools and mushroom shaped rock. Also has highlighted fossil trails. Camping area is treeless but comes with a good shelter. Great hiking if your in to quirky scenery. It is a 3 mile hike to the Bison bonebed from here that is marked. Take first road north of Crawford, it is signed, and drive about 13 miles, there is also a detour to the bonebed. Road is mildly rough. Recommended for those who like the unusual and want to be isolated.

Report: A great river for paddling, but not for floating - a fast current and numerous obstacles require a constant attention from the paddler. Recommended part for paddling: between higways 97 and 83. Between the highway 83 and Nebraska National Forest (Whitetail campground)the river is getting shallow and slow and the barbed wire fences are not canoe friendly any more. Please see photo reports on my website.
