The Great Plains Trails Network is a nonprofit organization which advocates and supports a network of trails in Lancaster County and throughout the state of Nebraska. The trails have many uses including bicycling, jogging, hiking, walking, horseback riding, skiing, transportation, recreation and physical fitness. The purposes of the Network are to support a master plan for trails adopted by public officials, to seek financial support through public and private sources, and to provide opportunity for the community to learn more about trails, their value and appropriate use.
