Southwestern state parks enjoy many improvements

Visitors to state park areas in southwestern Nebraska will find enhanced day-use and camping amenities. Projects in the works or completed will appeal to an array of park users. The following is a roundup of those improvements and projects: Ash Hollow State Historical Park   – Visitors will find  upgraded  lights in the interpretive center built over the entrance of Ash Hollow Cave to protect it while allowing visitors to experience its unique features. The museum in the visitor center also received upgraded lighting where park guests can view displays of pioneer history, Native American history, as well as geologic and palaeontologic history. The lighting project was completed in March 2025 with park cash funds of $1,000.
