Kessler Park

"The closest outdoor rock-climbing to Lincoln, NE, I really enjoyed climbing here a few months ago, had a really positive experience, climbing on limestone for the first time (outside of the diverse features and edges, I was surprised at how smooth the rock felt and was fascinated by ancient now fossilized marine shells imbedded in the rock!). Although I only sport climbed one route (5.8 I believe that was about 40’ tall, and had fixed permadraw anchors), there are actually 42 routes right now on mountain project for the area under “WM: Cliff Drive” ranging from beginner to extremely difficult"

"Quite place for a walk. Took our dog out there. Was nice to get some fresh air. Would not recommend staying after dark though, definitely signs of homeless activity, never had an issue so far despite this."

"It was beautiful, well kept, trash cans were available, nice and easily accessible trails, legible plaques and a statue. Great place for photo ops for special occasions. They also have resting benches. It really is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely worth the trip. The entire area is guaranteed worth driving around if not just for this, the nearby park and Tiffany Castle, as well as numerous other sites in the vicinity."
