The Cowboy Trail - Bridging the Gap
Completing the western end of the 321-mile long Cowboy Nature and Recreation Trail is a major goal of the Northwest Nebraska Trails Association. When complete, the trail will provide an uninterrupted, off-road biking and hiking trail from Norfolk to Chadron Nebraska, along the former Chicago and Northwestern Railroad line.
In September, 2018, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission awarded a $350,000 Recreational Trails Program grant to NNTA for Cowboy Trail work, to include repair and decking of bridges and laying a crushed limestone surface eastward from the trail terminus at Mile Marker 400 near Chadron. A separate grant to Cowboy Trail West will be used for trail work from Rushville west to MM400.
To receive the entire $350,000 grant NNTA must raise $88,000 in matching funds by March 1, 2019. Every dollar of your tax-deductible contribution to the Chadron Community Foundation Northwest Nebraska Trails Association Fund will be matched by $4 from the federal Recreational Trails Program administered by Nebraska Game and Parks.
