Shaded Running Trails in Nebraska

Nebraska has 18 trails with shade and tree cover in this directory, across 11 cities and towns — Bellevue, Omaha, Norfolk, Papillion and 7 more. Tree cover for summer miles, when an exposed path turns into a heat trap.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
