Where the Texas Trail ended and the Old West thrived. Today: a lakeside town wrapped in 150 years of frontier history.
"From dusty cattle drives to turquoise waters of Lake Mac — Ogallala has always been a place where America comes to find a little freedom."

End of the Texas Trail. A Union Pacific stop. A wild cattle town that earned its nickname — 'the Gomorrah of the Plains.'
Lake McConaughy
Nebraska's largest reservoir. 100 miles of white-sand shoreline, world-class walleye, and unforgettable sunsets over Big Mac.
Historic Sites
Boot Hill cemetery, the Mansion on the Hill, Front Street, and the Petrified Wood Gallery — landmarks of a town built on grit.
