Step out of the Ordinary and into Cass County
Here are 5 great reasons to do so.
1 Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained. Cass County proudly holds 3 of the 4 Nebraska State Parks recently named Venture Parks. Mahoney State Park, Platte River State Park, Louisville State Recreation Area and Schramm State Park with their close proximity to each other have been getting some major improvements. From Zip Lines and Wall Climbing, to Splash Pads and huge inflatable Water Playgrounds. Plus Mountain biking trails, Glamping cabins, and so much more.
1 Eat Dessert First. Bakers Candies’ world renowned chocolate meltaways have been proudly produced in Greenwood, Nebraska for generations! Known affectionately as “Bakers Chocolates” by Nebraskans, Bakers Candies produces world class chocolate meltaways synonymous with the state of Nebraska. A new manufacturing building is currently being completed so group tour are welcome!
2 Not Your Typical Drive-Thru . Drive. Hike. Explore. The Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari Park is a four mile, drive-through North American wildlife adventure. You will feel like you are on an actual safari, coming face-to-face with North American plants and animals such as elk, white-tailed deer, bison and waterfowl
4 Take a Sip. Get to know your Nebraska Craft Breweries at The Hop Yard in Plattsmouth. If Bourbon is what you crave then the Fork and Hammer also in Plattsmouth can assist you. Slattery Vintage Estates can provide not only a wide variety of wine tastings but offer weekend concerts during the Summer and Glamping! Every spring SIP Nebraska brings together a passionate community of local wine, craft beer, spirits and their fans to celebrate Nebraska’s beverage industry at Mahoney State Park in Ashland.
5 And Action! Come see the Lofte Community Theatre players perform in a gorgeous post-and-beam constructed theater facility that must be seen to be believed. Or, maybe a view a renowned Nebraska author actress as she guides you through the Bess Streeter Aldrich House in Elmwood. But if you are craving even more action we have Eagle Raceway and I-80 Speedway that will surely get engines going.
