(KLZA)--The Nemaha Natural Resources District will host a grand re-opening of the Steamboat Trace Trail on Saturday, April 15.
The event will take place at the Peru Depot, in Peru, and will include a 5K Fun Run. To register for the run, go the Nemaha NRD website. All of the proceeds raised by the event will go to the Nebraska Association of Resource Districts that supports student's desiring to enter the field of natural resources.
The Steamboat Trace Trail was closed from two miles south of Peru to Brownville following the historic flooding that occurred in 2019. NRD crews and contractors spent much of last year working to get the trail back into shape and opened up by fall for visitors.
The work included hauling truck loads of screenings, a material used for trail surfacing, which were placed and shaped along with new guardrails and tree trimming.
The scenic 22-mile long abandoned railroad corridor parallels the Missouri River from approximately six miles south of Nebraska City to just south of Brownville.
