Confirmed from Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Natural riverside state park with 2.8 mi. of trails, tree-shaded picnic areas & abundant wildlife.

Beautiful! Very family friendly--lots of places to explore on both paved and regular trails. Many clean restrooms. Several places to stop and picnic. Large beach surrounding lake. North Platte river flows through. Peaceful and serene.
I rented a RV site there for the Eclipse. This is a very nice park will maintained. The pond is nice and cleaned. Things need fixing in some of the bathrooms even more so know that this park was busy with people form the eclipse. I wish that had campground there. It's a great location.
Kristy at C Bracket Horse Barn made the visit to this park EXCEPTIONAL! The park is gorgeous but riding the trails on horseback takes you to parts you wouldn't otherwise see. Kristy's horses are the best I've ever been on - gentle trail giants!
Nice experience however there is a small entrance fee just fyi. Lots of walking trails right on the river. Very nice and clean park plenty of picnic tables, parking and restrooms. Small playground too.
