Outdoor Family Fun Day is an annual Niobrara NSR celebration of outdoor adventure. Bring the kids to explore a variety of hands-on activities, include canoeing, birding, making "fossils," eating marshmallows, and much more.Canoe rides--led by experts--offer a safe, fun introduction to paddling one of the best canoeing rivers in the country. Arrive early to reserve your spot! Discover the joy and beauty of birds while gaining tips on using binoculars. Celebrate the area's rich fossil heritage while making your own fossil impression to take home. Lunch is provided--just cook your own hot dog and marshmallow over an open fire! More activities will be added as the event nears.
All activities are free of charge. Smith Falls State Park requires a $6/vehicle parking fee or a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission annual pass. Smith Falls State Park is located 19 miles east of Valentine, Nebraska via Highway 12.
