Summit Lake State Recreation Area

Summit Lake in Tekamah is a nice little recreation area that is pretty large, so there's lots to explore. Also, there are COWS!We visited Summit Lake in Spring, and the scenery, sunset, and drive through the area were super scenic. There are tons of activities to do in this park, including swimming, biking, fishing, hiking, and more. In addition, there are some more simple/fun family friendly activities like a playground and horseshoe pits. ALSO, there are little short "waterfalls" as you walk around the trails/lake - waterfalls! My favorite thing we saw on the lake were two ducks with their little gaggle of ducklings, right as the sun was setting - so cool!I do think that it's a place to visit in summer or spring more-so than winter, as the nature and lakes/animals are a big part of the neatness of it. But if you can only go in fall/winter, I think it's still worth a visit!
