From Omaha, access I-80 West and drive approximately 45 miles. Take the US-77 exit - EXIT 397. Merge onto HOMESTEAD EXPY / SALT VALLEY RDWY / US-77 S (yes, it has 3 names) and drive 1.2 miles. Turn right onto CAPITOL PKWY W . CAPITOL PKWY W becomes S CODDINGTON AVE. Drive 1.3 miles and turn right into the park.

In the circle drive, take the right behind the buffalo statue. Keep right at the first fork and left at the second. Continue following this road for about a mile without turning off at any other forks. The golf course will be on your right. The Nature Center lots are on the right.
