Omaha Riverfront — short northern paved return

Nebraska · Greenway

Join the regional riverfront bicycle path north toward the NPS headquarters and Gallup area for up to one mile, then retrace at the actual separated-path end. Do not continue through road gaps, onto private campus lots or pedestrian-only park branches. Bob Kerrey Bridge is a separate guide.

Access note. The riverfront trail has three separate sections. This short middle-section return does not connect them or imply every redeveloped park path permits bicycles.
