Here's what Thrillist had to say about the best must-visit small town in the entire state:

"Locals compare this region to a rainforest misplaced in the Midwest plains. It's almost unfair to the rest of Nebraska how much of the state's natural beauty is concentrated in this town. Six, count 'em, six ecological systems mesh together along the Niobrara River. You’ll find sandstone canyons, cliffs, valleys, and Smith Falls State Park, home to the state's tallest waterfall. Or, run with the prairie dogs and bison in Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, or book a cabin at the Lord Ranch Resort and get the full cowboy tour package. Later, boot-scoot out of the 19th century and over to the Peppermill Restaurant, where you can get a fresh steak without looking it in the eye first."
