This state park in Ogallah is known for it’s 6,000 reservoir, 1000 Cedar Bluffs State Park and a 9,000 acre wildlife reserve.  Even though the park is just 12 miles off the beaten path of I 70 at exit 135 it receives few visitors which means that it is still in more of it’s natural state making it a great place for those that appreciate the unspoiled beauty.

The 100 ft tall limestone and bluffs on the south side of the reservoir are stunning.  Enjoy them most at sunrise or sunset but they are great anytime of the year. There are no road to the bluffs so if you really want to enjoy them up close you will need to hike, just be careful and don’t get too close, limestone is, after all, prone to breaking off and falling.

The rest of the park offers fishing, boating (5 ramps), swimming, hunting, volleyball, basketball, hiking, a BMX track, and both 121 camp sites with utilities and primitive camping. Cabins are available for rent on the north side of the reservoir.

    Hi Nancy,
    The celebration at Cedar Bluff State Park is called the Holiday In Lights. It is 7 miles of lights in the trees with other decorations for you to enjoy. The festivities take place Dec. 6 and 7th, Dec. 10 and 12,13 and 14. There will be hay racks for you to ride on to see the lights or you can drive your own vehicle. There is free hot chocolate and on occasion Santa even shows up for the kids! We hope you visit and enjoy the experience!
