Discover the Lower Loup Natural Resources District, with its array of cherished lakes and recreation destinations.
The Ord Hike/Bike Trail on the north edge of Ord starts at Auble's Pond in Bussell Park and continues to the Lower Loup Natural Resources District Arboretum. The ten-foot-wide trail runs from the renovated pond along Dane Creek, then along the east edge of the Ord Cemetery to the NRD Arboretum. The trail is constructed of six-inch thick concrete with a metal bridge where it crosses Dane Creek.
The trail was funded in part by a federal transportation grant with matching funds provided by former Ord Mayor Alfred Burson. Partners in the trail project are the City of Ord, the Lower Loup Natural Resources District, and the Nebraska Department of Roads. Private donors and grants have funded lighting for the trail.
