Located in the heart of the United States, Nebraska is the only triply landlocked state, surrounded by three states on each side from the nearest gulf, bay, or ocean. It shares its borders with South Dakota to the north, Iowa to the east, Missouri to the southeast, Kansas to the south, to the southwest, and Wyoming to the west. Nebraska’s outdoors are filled with off-the-beaten-path excursions just waiting for you. The state features a variety of landscapes, from rolling hills and mixed-grass prairies of the Sandhills to the dramatic cliffs of Scottsbluff National and the unique badlands of Toadstool Geological Park. With over 70 state parks offering hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and hiking, it's no surprise that Nebraska is recognized as a top 10 state for its natural beauty.
