Gracie Creek

LOOKING Closer

Gracie Creek is located on the Switzer Ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills. Gracie Creek is a cold, clear, groundwater-fed stream. The stream stays open year-round due to the powerful springs that feed it. Cattle can be seen periodically grazing the streambed edges, and wildlife frequent the area.
