Nine-Mile Spring
LOOKING Closer
Many groundwater-fed springs and seeps at Nine Mile Prairie flow when the water table is high. Here at the head of the big draw that runs along the south edge of the property, one spot has never run completely dry, even during the drought of 2012 and 2013. Nine Mile Prairie is owned and managed by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and is an important research site for ecologists and grassland managers.
