The Zorinsky Lake Trail offers a pleasant excursion on the western outskirts of Omaha. The paved pathway encircles a 255-acre lake, offering beautiful views of the water from all angles. The full route is just over 7 miles, but travelers can do smaller loops by crossing the middle of the lake on the path paralleling S. 168th Street.
Named for the late Senator Edward Zorinsky, the lake area offers numerous recreational amenities, including athletic fields, playgrounds and picnic spots, as well as opportunities for fishing and boating.
Parking is available on the east side of the trail at the Zorinsky Lake Boat Ramp (on the south side of the lake) and off S. 168 Street on the north side of Zorinsky Lake.
Beautiful trail to walk and run. Gorgeous trees and water. We see many deer everytime we go winter or summer. We've even seen coyotes, eagles, bull snakes and many water fowl. Terrible for biking because of the bad asphalt and so many walkers.
I’ve ridden around 800 miles on this trail because it’s close to my house and it’s an asphalt surface that has many divots and roots that have grown through it. Not the best surface for bikes.
