Lied Platte River Bridge

This camera is located below the Lied Platte River Bridge on the hiker/biker trail near South Bend, Nebraska. The camera provides a low-angle view looking upstream from mid-river, capturing dynamic river processes of ever-shifting sandbars in the summer and the formation and movement of ice in the winter. It also sees the pulse of cliff swallows arriving during breeding season to make nests under the bridge near the camera. The bridge is owned by the Lower Platte South and Papio-Missouri River Natural Resource Districts and managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
