As one of Nebraska's biggest cities, Omaha has its share of urban sprawl, but spend a little time in town and find museums, pleasant parks, plenty of places to tuck into for an Omaha steak and somewhat unexpectedly, an indoor rainforest.
Managed by the USDA Forest Service as part of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Flaming Gorge Lake is a large 91 sq. mile lake with world class fishing.
It is an excellent alternative to Lake Powell if you're looking for fewer people. Shore camping spots help the lake to accommodate a large number of boaters without crowding. There is lots of room for all types of water activities.
