General presentation
Nebraska Sandhills
Grassy dunes, ranches and huge skies in a sparsely populated area.
To understand what Nebraska Sandhills is, you have to look at Nebraska Sandhills, Valentine National Wildlife Refuge and Merritt Reservoir. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the countryside and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Nebraska Sandhills
The Nebraska Sandhills The terrain is soft but immense, with a rarely interrupted horizon, ideal for feeling the rural and silent dimension of the north-central Nebraska. The landscape of the Nebraska River is very small, and the landscape is very small.
Nature and landscape
Valentine National Wildlife Refuge
Valentine National Wildlife Refuge protects a landscape of grassy dunes, shallow lakes, marshes and meadows where waterbirds, deer and sometimes bison are observed in the surrounding areas. The refuge slowly discovers itself, with binoculars and patience, in a part of the Sandhills where the water surprises as much as the grass.
Place indismissible
Merritt Reservoir
Merritt Reservoir Brings a large expanse of water to the Sandhills, surrounded by grassy hills, scattered pines and discreet beaches. It comes to fish, camp, navigate or watch the night sky, especially dark in this sparsely inhabited part of Nebraska.
