Hitchcock Nature Center is a great place to explore the Loess Hills and get away from the city. It features 10 miles of trails for all skill levels, a visitors center and tower, a fire tower for bird studies, RV sites, cabins, backcountry campsites, an archery range, and an ADA boardwalk. The backcountry campsites have pads with pea gravel for tents and fire rings, and the views from the two southeast campsites are amazing, looking over the Missouri River valley and the Omaha skyline in the distance. Nature education events, such as Hawk Watch, are regularly held at the park, and the campground features a unique lodge and educational space. It is a great spot to practice backpacking or test new gear, with stunning views of the farmland and Omaha skyline at night. The campground is $25 per night, and amenities include electric, showers/bathrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, and a pay station. The ranger is friendly and willing to chat, and they do a great job of staying on top of any issues to minimize interruption.
