There are numerous state parks and recreation areas and wildlife management areas across the state on the Platte, Loup, Niobrara and other rivers that provide public access points. With water being diverted for irrigation, river levels are low, leaving plenty of places to park your lawn chair. • Walk through a prairie and photograph wildflowers. You can find wildflowers blooming in prairies throughout the state from mid-April until the cold sets in by November, but for the most variety, go in June. • Swim at the aquatic centers at Eugene T. Mahoney and Ponca state parks, or at the pools at Chadron, Fort Robinson, and Platte River state parks.
