Fishing – The Missouri River is located only about 6 miles from Sunset at Blue Oasis. Decatur, NE offers many riverfront fishing spots located on both Iowa and Nebraska sides of the river, as well as a few boat docks if you’re interested in putting a boat in. Don’t forget to grab lunch at Pop-N-Docs while your there! It’s a local favorite known for their great food and drinks, and their fun outdoor deck seating. This is an excellent boat dock to use as it’s located in a cove right off the river.

About 15 miles in the other direction in Moorehead, Iowa. Preparation Park has many trails as well as a scenic lookout. More info at Loess Hills National Scenic Byway – Home.

If you’re looking for a closer hike, just a jaunt down the road is Lewis and Clark State Park with great trails through the trees and also a nice, paved road for biking and other recreational activities.
