Cedar Run ATV Trail

Cedar Run ATV Trail Area is a 470-acre Army Corps of Engineers ATV and OHV riding area on the south shore of Harlan County Lake near Republican City in Harlan County, south-central Nebraska, approximately 20 miles north of the Kansas state line. The area occupies rolling grassland and timbered draw terrain typical of the Republican River watershed: gentle upland ridges of mixed-grass prairie, creek-bottom timber draws with cottonwood and cedar, and open cross-country riding terrain within the designated project boundary. All OHV types are permitted; no entry fee is charged. The trail system covers approximately 9 miles of marked routes through the area's varied terrain. Camping is available at nearby Corps of Engineers campgrounds on Harlan County Lake, which also supports fishing, swimming, and boating to round out a full-facility recreation visit. A Nebraska OHV registration sticker is required for all non-street-legal vehicles operated in Nebraska. The Republican City location puts Cedar Run within reach of the Kearney and Grand Island markets to the north, and the McCook and North Platte markets to the west. Contact the Harlan County Lake project office (308-799-2105) for current access conditions and lake level information.
