Game and Parks, for the past eight years have had
contracted with experts across the United States, to study
the Niobrara River. These studies included information on
the river characteristics, recreational floating, economic and
social benefits of recreational floating, agricultural, industrial
and public water use and the fish and wildlife in and around
the river. The fish and wildlife study was completed in August
2014. In December, Game and Parks completed a series of
informational meetings to share the findings of these studies
with those along the river and all those interested in learning
more about the river.
