Whether you’re pedaling your way to Nebraska, setting up camp under the stars or bringing your four-legged friend along for the fun, we’ve got everything you need for an amazing getaway.

Start your journey on the Blue River Rail Trail, a scenic 11.5-mile crushed limestone trail stretching from Marysville all the way to the Nebraska state line. Keep going, and you’ll seamlessly connect to Nebraska’s Homestead Trail, making it possible to ride all the way to Lincoln!

🐶 Dog-Friendly Fun:

Black Squirrel Bark Park Marysville is not only bike-friendly—it’s dog-friendly, too! Let your pup stretch their legs at the Black Squirrel Bark Park, a fully fenced-in play area designed just for them.

🐾 Amenities Include:

✅ Separate areas for large and small dogs
