Salt Creek Levee Trail

A good trail, nowhere close to living to its full potential

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

As a biker, I appreciate the route that this trail takes. It’s not the most scenic, but it certainly is scenic nonetheless, not so much in nature, but in old historic views. My pet peeve, and it’s a big one, is that it’s crushed limestone. This would be forgivable if it were a straight trail, but it’s one of the curviest out of all the bike trails. It also has parts where the surface is actually slanted, which is frankly unreliable if you’re not ready for it. I watched one of my buddies with my own eyes slide across the limestone surface and down the bank of Salt Creek (yes he was ok) when he rounded a bend too fast. This will all be avoided if they would finish paving this trail like they started to do with the northern area of it, and that alone would add two extra stars to the rating, possibly all three depending on if they fix the slant of the surface

Oak Lake Connector Trail

not much, but does the job, like N. 1st St. Trail in line with it

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

It provides a quick way to get from UNL campus to the Highlands, where several of my buddies live. As a biker, I appreciate that it’s paved. I also like it runs next to Oak Lake, although I wish it provided an alternative route around the lake to get some extra scenery. It is also my opinion that this could and should be the same trail as N. 1st St. Trail, but they decided to separate these two by a small section of sidewalk. Oh well.

North 1st Street Trail

Not much here, but it gets the job done

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

It’s all that they don’t directly connect this to the trail that runs next to Oak Lake. That said, there is a sidewalk that connects them, and I’m not so petty to complain riding on the sidewalk for a couple hundred feet. This way takes you after the Superior St., Trail and Highland Loop, which is useful. For me at least, despite being boring, it gets a bonus star for being literally the only quick way to connect me from UNL Campus to some of my buddies in the Highlands.

Superior Street Trail

feels a bit utilitarian (mostly because Superior Street is boring) but it has some interesting places

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

As the title says, the trail itself feels a little bit utilitarian. I probably wouldn’t pick this one to go on a fun leisurely ride. That said, I’m very glad this is here, because I don’t want to ride in the road and I hate riding sidewalks. There are times when you need to take this direction to get to places, whether they be stores like The Home Depot near 27th and Superior, or other trails like Highland Loop or Dietrich Connector. I also appreciate this trail is paved.

Rock Island Trail (NE)

Lincoln‘s best trail and my favorite

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

As the title states, what else can I say. This trail is simply perfect as far as bike trails go. I expect most people will probably get onto this trail via Helen Boosalis. In that case, you have two equally good routes to take, north or southwest. Both make for perfect round trips because they connect seamlessly with other trails, SouthPoint at the south and Billy Wolff at the north. This is also the most scenic trail out of all of them, with the possible exception of Jamaica North that runs through Wilderness Park. But what ranks this trail higher is the paved, well maintained surface. With the exception of Helen Boosalis, this is by far the trail that I feel safest on, despite being secluded for at least a portion of the ride. You go through a woody area that are just absolutely beautiful, and there are a lot of runners and other bikers.

Helen Boosalis Trail

Close contender for my second favorite trail

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

For starters, this trail is literally right next to my house. It’s definitely my most used and easily accessible trail. But more than that, it’s also fun to ride. It starts as a branch off from the Old Cheney Trail and heads west (as well as slightly north). It’s very relaxing and nature-scenic despite being next to Nebraska Parkway (formerly Highway 2). As another reviewer noted, it sits slightly lower, so you don’t feel that you’re next to 50 mph traffic and you don’t hear all that noise right in your face. It’s also the best way to get to my favorite, the Rock Island Trail. And if you continue past Rock Island, it continues west right up to basically 14th St., which provides the only western bike route to connect you to the Bison Trail that leads to Pioneer’s Park.

Old Cheney Road Trail

Made a mistake in my first review and can’t edit it

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

Just wanted to clear up any confusion about my first review. I intended to say that for anyone who lives remotely close to “old Cheney Road“, this trail is the fastest way to take them to the Jamaican North Trail, way out west along Wilderness Park.

Old Cheney Road Trail

Paved, which is the main thing. Other than that, it’s a bit boring.

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

I’m glad this trail exists, but I think most people would agree this is more an A-to-B trail than a ride-for-fun trail. The pavement is in pretty good shape and it’s at least 8 feet wide on all parts all the way down to Warlick Boulevard, which is good. In terms of a scenic route to meet up with Jamaica North Trail, or just riding for fun, I don’t see why someone wouldn’t choose to take Helen Boosalis the same direction, as that trail is a lot more interesting to ride. I would actually add a star if the city would extend the trail west about 1/4-1/2 mile to meet up with the Jamaica North, so that I wouldn’t have to take that last bit of journey on the really horrible condition sidewalk. It will still be purely a utilitarian trail, but it would be very good at accomplishing that purpose as the fastest route to Jamaica Nort for someone who lives anywhere near old Janie Road

Southpointe Trail

Really fun

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

This trail is just really fun to ride. It starts at the water fountain intersection adjacent to the YMCA by Densmore Park. If you’re coming from the Rock Island Trail northwest and want to make it a round trip, you’d turn southeast onto this trail, rather than continuing to Hell’s Gate Bridge on Rock Island and ending up at the limestone Jamaica North Trail. This trail is fun because even though you’re next to roads most of the time, the pavement is in really good shape and allows you to ride highspeed, as well as downhill for a good portion of the way. It also runs right next to Southpoint, and there’s a little sidewalk detour that takes you down under the parking garage if you want to make a stop at the mall. After that, it turns north and becomes the Tierra/Williamsburg Trail.

Billy Wolff Trail

my second favorite trail in Lincoln

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

I’m so glad this trail is paved because it’s my second favorite place to ride in Lincoln, after Rock Island, which turns east onto this trail by the Lincoln children’s zoo. Previousmy, I thought that Antelope Valley Trail, which runs east until it merges into this trail, is less scenic and more utilitarian, as well as Antelope Creek Trail which turns off this trail and runs west, and is possibly even more scenic, were part of Billy Wolff. I only just now learned that they are not technically considered part of it directly.

Antelope Creek Trail

Continuation of Billy Wolff, but much more scenic all the way thru

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

As the title says, this is a continuation of the Billy Wolff Trail, but unlike it, it runs through neighborhoods and wooded areas the entire time. The former starts out downtown in the decidedly city area with not a lot of scenery. P.S. You’d be forgiven for thinking this is part of Billy Wolff; I only just now learned that this is technically a different trail after it comes out of Holmes Lake and curves around the dog park. Even the sign there says “Billy Wolff”!

70th Street Trail

One street side-swap, but great otherwise

January, 2025 by rivet_compass9b

Some people would give this trail a lower rating citing “near 70th St, not super scenic” but my opinion is that there’s nothing wrong with the trail at all (it’s one of the best in terms of surface upkeep in fact) so I’m not going to detract stars for that. In fact I live in Colonial Hills neighborhood, so this is the only way I can get to Holmes Lake via trail. Just be aware that it does change sides of the street at 70th and Glynoaks Dr., other than that it takes you from one important trail to the other and very comfortably at that.
