Location:
Windmill State Recreation Area
Gibbon NE
We stayed two days at Fort Kearney SRA and then moved 13 miles down the road to Gibbon and Windmill SRA. We originally thought we would have to dump the sewer and fill the water tanks, so we thought we would use that time to visit a different park.
We had wanted to see the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument since we came through Kearney in 2019. We also took trips to the Pioneer Village and the Nebraska Firefighters Museum.

Pawnee Sate Recreation Area (SRA), Fort Kearney SRA, and Windmill SRA were the Chain of Lakes stops – and all three were winners as far as places to stay. Kearney was special because we had a chance to visit with Lee and Patty.
