The Missouri National Recreational River Resource and Education Center is the perfect place if you ever find yourself along the Lewis and Clark trail in Ponca State Park, Nebraska. Considered one of the main visitor entry points and use area along the Missouri National Recreational River, the Resource and Education center provides visitors an opportunity to foster a sense of personal stewardship for the nature around you. The center has everything an outdoor experience needs, such as scenic patios, wildlife viewing stations, and educational classrooms where you can learn all about the surrounding wildlife and nature that it lives in.

If that doesn’t suit your fancy, don’t worry because that’s not all. Visitors can also enjoy any of the beautiful surrounding nature trails that Ponca State Park has to offer, as well as a pond that is seasonally stocked with fish if you want to sit down and have a nice, relaxing fishing day. That’s, of course, not to mention all of the other amazing activities and scenery that the rest of Ponca State Park has to offer. So if its an amazing scenery you want, or you just want to learn about this gorgeous wildlife, then the Missouri National Recreational River Resource and Education Center is definitely a place you should visit along the Lewis and Clark trail.
