A walk through the forest is always a nice, relaxing way to spend a day. Sometimes, though, you’re looking for just a bit more adventure. You can have the beauty of the forest and a heart-pumping thrill ride at Fontenelle Forest’s newest addition.
Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue has long been known as the perfect place in eastern Nebraska to hike through thick woods and admire nature. In summer 2019, though, a new kind of outdoor adventure arrived.
