Chadron State Park- Nebraska

P1010560
We left the Black Hills of South Dakota for a short drive to Chadron State Park in Chadron, Nebraska.  We can add another state to our camping list!  This park is truly a gem!  It is Nebraska’s first state park and it is gorgeous!

Can you see our fifth wheel over there?  This is a shot from one of the many hiking/biking trails.

Here’s a closer look.  The campground is great!  The sites are plenty big, electric and have shade trees!  In addition to a great site, Chadron has lots of activities to keep you busy.

They have trail rides!  Caleb’s horse was named “Dallas” and he liked to munch on the tall grass along the trail.  The ride was set among the forest but climbed to some overlooks of the Pine Ridge.  It was our family plus the wranglers… our own private ride!  This was a great opportunity since we don’t have our own horses anymore.  And it was Caleb’s first long ride.

After lunch we were off to the activity center.  They have a snack bar and crafts, but Caleb had his eyes set on the archery range!

Look closely!  That’s 3 for 3 in the yellow centered bullseye!

Wow we’ve had so much fun at this state park.  We’ve been swimming in their pool and played on their playgrounds.  They even have a pond to fish in and paddleboats to ride.  We decided to stay here for 4 nights, but who knows it could be more!
