Within
the vastness of the
Great Plains
, there is a river cradled within the
Niobrara
Valley
that has sculptured its own beauty and carved a personality into 200-foot
cliffs and grassy knolls. It is a
masterpiece in any season; from the colorful palate of summer’s canvas to
winter’s rimrock frozen, blue-ice terraces. Running on the northern fringes of
the Ogallala Aquifer, the waters of the Niobrara
travel 6-9 miles an hour, and since they are spring-fed, drought does not
affect flow like most other rivers.
Declared
a part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in May 1991, this region is
considered the ecological center of the North American continent where six
distinctive, major vegetation systems converge.
As the last ice age retreated 6,000 – 8,000 years ago, leaving its
inhabitants isolated it created its own species of unique birds, mammals and
plants.
Listed among the top ten canoeing rivers in the
country, it plays host to over 90 waterfalls, the greatest of these, at nearly
70’, making its home in
Smith
Falls
State Park
. Bison and elk still roam
prairie borders at Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, while
free-ranging elk mingle with white tail and mule deer at the water’s edge.
