About Our Site - Edness K. Wilkins State Park
Nestled beside the North Platte River, Edness K. Wilkins State Park is a nature lover's paradise. This area, spanning 362 acres, features a range of exciting outdoor activities. Embark on a leisurely stroll on the park's three miles of paved trails, keep an eye out for over 200 species of birds, take a dip in the swimming pond, or relax on the beach. Additionally, there are four reservable picnic shelters and numerous picnic sites, making the park a perfect spot for a family outing or group gathering. Other activities include bicycling, horseback riding, boating on the river, and fishing in the river.
