Wonderful Winter Hiking Trails around Omaha!

by Nancy Heim-berg

We may be in colder weather, but that doesn’t mean outdoor fun and hiking must come to a halt! Omaha has such an awesome natural landscape and incredible trails that offer year-round walking and hiking fun. All you need is to layer up, grab a great pair of boots, gloves, a hat, and some water and provisions and you’re ready to go. Here are some of the trails we recommend.

Big Papio Trail- A city trail meandering through neighborhood parks, residential & industrial spaces and stretching from Hefflinger Park to Seymour Smith Park.

Eugene T. Mahoney State Park- Our gorgeous state park not only offers great hiking & walking trails, but also has cross-country skiing, ice skating, sledding, and ice fishing available. Bring the entire family and make a day of it in the great outdoors.

Fontenelle Forest- It’s hard to believe that this amazing natural wonderland is just minutes from Omaha! Featuring a mile-long boardwalk along the Mississippi River that is just breathtaking. You can also choose to take a dirt trail deeper into the woods for a more adventurous hike.  

The Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge- Connected to more than 150 miles of nature trails, the 3,000-foot-long walkway crosses the Mississippi river and offers astounding views of the city of Omaha. Great trail for a quick hike, or if you want to be adventurous and connect to the many miles of nature trails for a day-long hike.

Enjoy the scenery and beauty of the winter season while doing some cardio in the brisk cooler air. More blogs to come about winter activities to enjoy all season long in Omaha, so check back frequently.

by Nancy Heim-berg

Do you find yourself craving that smoky goodness that only great BBQ can satisfy? We’ve been there too. Well, you’re in luck because Omaha has some of the best BBQ restaurants that serve up incredible meats and tasty sides and you won’t leave hungry. Check out some of the best below:

Smokin Barrel BBQ- 13508 Discovery Dr, Omaha

This veteran-owned and operated venue serves up smoked meats by the ½ pound. You can dine in or carry out. Choices include pulled pork, brisket, sausage links, turkey, and spare ribs. Sandwiches- all the above plus their specialties of The Texan (brisket & sausage), The Dirty Pig (pulled pork, sausage & slaw), and The Farm (Brisket, pulled pork & sausage). Plus don’t forget the sides! Great reviews for seasoning, juicy, and texture. Excellent portion sizes and service. A great place for BBQ.

Smoking Jay’s- 2524 S 13th St, Omaha

Locally family owned & operated with a passion for smoking meats! Their secret is quality ingredients from start to finish. You’ll find beef brisket and ribs, pulled pork and chicken, sausages, burgers, and sandwiches- including smoked Reuben’s, kids' meals, and even family meals. And their list of sides is enormous and delicious. Plus, don’t forget the desserts. There are a bunch of southern favorites here. The Peach cobbler is divine.

Hartland Bar-B-Que- 5402 NW Radial HWY, Omaha

Best known for their baby back ribs & smoked Angus brisket, this locally owned BBQ restaurant is in the heart of Benson. Although baby back ribs & smoked Angus brisket are at the top of the list, they also serve tantalizing smoked pork, chicken, and sausage with a variety of yummy sides. And did we mention the cornbread?!  Amazing!! Family bundles and catering are also available. Definitely, a place you want to check out.
