Two Lakes Trail                        

Built in 2000 with a combination of government and privately-donated funds, this scenic trail winds 2.5 miles through scenic, shady parks along the north shores of Lake Babcock and Lake North. The two lakes, located approximately two miles north of Columbus, Neb., are part of Loup Power District's extensive hydroelectric generation facilities and public recreation offerings. Admission is FREE!

 Two Lakes Trail, an eight-foot-wide concrete path, offers recreational opportunities for joggers, cyclists, runners, rollerbladers, walkers, bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. And, it meets ADA requirements. The trail was named a "National Millennium 2000 Community Trail." For the adventurous at heart, the trail continues, in a more natural state (grass and gravel) for another 4.5 miles, circling the south and east sides of the two lakes. The round trip is 7 miles.

Free camping with electric hookups, fishing and boating are available in the park. For the nature lover, Lake Babcock is home to the giant American Lotus, the furthest west colony of this beautiful water flower found in the U.S. The Two Lakes Trail also has a sanctioned AVA year-round Volkswalking event.
