And yes, it's a wee bit creepy the first time you visit because you're surrounded by a spiraling forest that seems to be reaching out to grab you. For one, the park is old. Like almost 100 years old. And it's on the north outskirts of Omaha on top of and surrounding river bluffs. Two, it's big. It's easy to get lost in. Going along the hiking trails, you never know what you'll find around the next bend -- it could be nothing, or a raccoon, or a deer, or a turkey vulture, or teenagers smoking weed. There is also a nice patch of groomed grass at the crest of one of the hills at the main entrance of Hummel. You'll often find families hanging out barbecuing and kids playing on the nice jungle gym. You know, normal park activities. I come here for the disc golf. Hummel touts a magnificent and technical 18 hole course that winds through the woods, up and down the bluffs, with a little creek water hazard thrown in for good measure. All in all, Hummel has a lot to offer. It's a nice little day retreat from the city. Emphasis on day, because the place is absolutely horrifying at night.

I came on a warm October afternoon to check out the nine-hole disc golf course. My first impression was a good one. This course is well maintained: manicured fairways, clean baskets and concrete tee pads. While none of the holes were much more than 300 feet from tee to pin, there were plenty of trees and shrubs to add a bit of challenge to your throws. The first four holes are just north of the parking lot as your drive in. The back five are tucked behind the monument, and offer a more secluded environment, complete with sweeping valley views in between some seriously tough shots -- especially hole seven, a real beast of a hole. As is the case with a lot of local courses, I spent much of my first round attempting to find the tee pads, a few of which aren't marked properly. This is easily fixed, however, so hopefully the local disc golf club has something in the works.

Winding through the middle of the Iowa Western Community College campus, Treasure Cove is a…read morechallenging, beautiful course that's always in tip-top shape. Plus it's only about a 10 minute drive from downtown Omaha. There's plenty for everyone here: multiple tees for multiple skill levels, a few mando shots for those up for the challenge and holes that range from wide open spaces to secluded hideaways in the woods. There's a creek that winds through much of the course that's taken advantage of as well -- you have to love their signature hole with the basket that hangs from a pedestrian bridge just above the water (hole 13 I think?). Plus, you'll likely see a little wildlife when you're here, including adorable little baby deer. The only con I can think of is that you often run into the occasional jock or 40 as they prep to fulfill their juco dreams. Best to go during school breaks.

Well groomed with a nice mix of hills and valleys. Not a terrible hike, but not an easy walk. Wearing sandals is not a great idea, but try telling that to a college kid. Outdated signage (hole 10) and rubber mats. If they would just pour some concrete (money$$) for the pads it would be fine. Leave the rubber for an Ace Race of the like, but make the rest perpetual. A couple of easy 3's and hard 4's. I like it a lot. I would love to see this course mature and am glad to have played it in its; youth

Tons of baseball diamonds although i dont know how often actual events are scheduled in them. Last visit i even admired a few people flying some nitro fueled tethered airplanes. When i was onsite 2 baseball games were going on and the splash pad was busy and still tons of parking. One thing i didn't like is the playground by the splash pad had a 'soft' ground covering but WOW was it reflecting heat like crazy. On a hot sunny day keep an eye on your littles so they dont possibly burned. Also that playground equipment is wheelchair accessible from what i could tell since it had ramps up and walkways were very wide. It can also be tricky getting into the park as the entrances are pretty small steeets. I'd recommend the access off Harrison street.

Overall, Aspen Park is the easiest disc golf course in Omaha. It's flat with wide open drives on every hole. There are a few trees around some baskets that require skill shots, but such shots can easily be avoided most of the time. Pros: A fun course for a quick round when you want to avoid the crowds at nearby Seymour. Also a great place to practice some distance drives for more skilled players (especially hole 7, which is a whopping 600+ feet). Likewise it's a great course for beginners, as there is nothing intimidating about the course and it's pretty much impossible to lose a disc. Cons: Like I mentioned before, there's not much challenge to Aspen Park. Every hole is literally straight forward. Also, it sits on a flood plain for the Big Papio Creek, so expect it to be a bit marshy for a couple days after it rains.

What a joke. While the course has been shortened, the walk is still pretty cool. Bring water. I like the overall refresh of the lake, but this is one of the worst parks in general in Omaha.

Of course, I've seen the sign along the highway and my boyfriend had mentioned it before but none of that made much of an impression as the actual place did. Our first visit here was to break in our new bicycles. We entered on the west side of the lake where there is a pier for boats. There is another pier on the other side of the lake close to the camp ground but where we entered it was near a nice covered picnic area. We rode our bikes along the path twice here and enjoyed every bit of it. Since then I've gone a few times with my bike to ride and I loved every second of it. The staff here does a great job maintaining the path, piers, frisbee golf area and the ensuring the trash cans are all taken care of. I haven't camped on their campground yet but it always looks to be pretty tidy. I know my nephew has stayed there for a cub scout camp weekend and I didn't hear any complaints from their experience. One of the things I like about this area is there is a designated day camp area, they also have a lot of events going on here. I've noticed a couple of triathlons here. I appreciate having this gorgeous lake, park, camp area, close by and well kept. It is such a hidden gem just on the other side of the highway. I look forward to spring and summer next year to break out our bicycles again and maybe even spend a weekend camping here. If you have yet to check this lake out I highly recommend that you do! The path is almost seven miles with a good amount of benches along the way so you can also just sit back, relax, and enjoy being amongst nature!
