OPPD Arboretum, Omaha

The walking trails are short and hilly in places. Most of them are in the shade and lined with a number of different trees and perennials which were all labeled at one point, but several of the placards were missing. Some of the trails are concrete sidewalks and others are covered in woods chips, which provides a softer but uneven surface. Apparently there are a lot of Kodak moments here, as there were a number families taking pictures.

Who would ever expect that an OPPD power substation could be a beautiful Arboretum area? They did it. And you can learn about the trees you should and should not plant near your power lines as you walk the scenic trails. Check the handicap access. One path has a bit of a challenge with handicap accessibility.
