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.
From just below the dam to a take out seven miles downstream at Little Hole, the clear blue waters of the Green River tumble beneath canyon walls providing some pleasant river running opportunities in a beautiful setting.
This popular stretch of river moves swiftly with some easy ClassI and 2 rapids. It can be handled safely by moderately competent beginners in a raft or dory. Those desiring to make the trip in a canoe or kayak should have some experience.
The trip takes about 2 to 2-1/2 hours, depending on water flow. There are no campsites, but there are areas to stop for a picnic lunch.
