Travel & Adventure
Crofton’s Dam Race
If you’ve ever dreamed about participating in a triathlon, but don’t want or can’t do the whole thing — Crofton’s Dam Race is the answer.
The 250-Mile Challenge
As warmer weather approaches, head outside and participate in the Outdoor Nebraska 250-Mile Challenge.
Lake Ogallala
Not only does Lake Ogallala literally lie in the shadow of the dam, and Lake McConaughy behind it, it sits there figuratively as well.
