Class I Lower Elkhorn River, NE

Lower Elkhorn River Canoe Trail (U.S. 275 Bridge (north of Scribner) to Waterloo)

The Elkhorn River originates in lush hay meadow land in the north-central counties of Holt and Rock and ends near Gretna at its confluence with the Platte River. Flows vary considerably along its entire length depending on snow-melt, rainfall and irrigation demand. Normally, the best times to canoe are spring and fall. Spring rains can produce destructive flooding, causing more damage along the Elkhorn than any other river basin in Nebraska.
