North Central Nebraska Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About North Central Nebraska

North Central Nebraska is the least populated area of the state. Less than 100,000 people live in area covering 19,000 sq mi (30,000 sq km). That's an average of 5 people per square mile (3 people per square kilometer). This region of Nebraska is a lot of what visitors to the state expect. Open grasslands and treeless landscapes as far as the eye can see. Most of the farmland in this region is for livestock, specifically cattle. Towns are tight-knit and are willing to accommodate visitors. The low population and small towns have created an area of sky considered ideal for stargazing, especially along NE-97 between Mullen and Valentine. Virtually no light pollution allows visitors a view of the night sky as it would have been hundreds of years ago. This is a double-edged sword, however. Roa
