On Monday, October 17, Nemaha NRD crews were finally able to open a portion of the Steamboat Trace trail after more than four months of closure. The opening is limited, however, to that section from Peru north to Minersville, which is south of Nebraska City. Access at the north end is limited since the original trailhead near the OPPD coal power 
No estimates have been made as to when the south part of the trail from Peru to Brownville might be reopened. Missouri River floodwaters and sediment damaged several sections of the trail, and some bridges are also in need of repair. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
