The Niobrara River is a masterpiece. Cradled in a valley hundreds of feet below rim rock and tree covered bluffs, it is blessed by more than 90 waterfalls that cascade from adjacent banks and hidden canyons. Niobrara River Ranch trails allow you private access to many secluded falls. The constant flow of the Niobrara is sustained by springs and seeps from the surrounding Sand hills that capture groundwater. A guided ranch tour takes you to the gentle beginnings of Smith Falls, Nebraska’s tallest. One of the top 10 canoeing rivers in the United States, the Niobrara steadily drops 8 to 10 feet per mile creating an ever constant, rippling current. Here and there, stretches of white water punctuate the otherwise gentle stream. The Niobrara is the only East-West running river on the northern Great Plains without a reservoir. Because of this and the “outstandingly remarkable” geological factors the Niobrara has been designated a Wild and Scenic River by Congress.
