Mahoney State Park Tower
LOOKING Closer
Located on the observation tower at Mahoney State Park between Lincoln and Omaha, this location gives a bird’s eye view of the Lower Platte River and surrounding wooded bluffs. The river here is mainly fed by groundwater from the Loup Basin, which drains a large portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, entering the Platte near Columbus, Nebraska. The location is also near Lincoln’s well fields, where the city of over 250,000 residence draws the majority of its water supply.
