Try going south out of Nebraska City on Hwy 75 ..... I can't remember if it is County Road P or N that you follow east  down to the river....... google it...... should turn up a map.

It is a State Wildlife Management Area just south of the Nebraska City power plant.Take Hwy 75 south of Nebraska City and turn left at the OPPD power plant sign. Follow that road acroos some railroad tracks to a T. You will bw able to go straight or turn right. If you go straigt it is a narrow road that leads to a parking area and a place to shoot.There is a sign at the innesection but hard to read. If you turn right go about 1 mile south to another t and turn left. This is the south entrance and there is a place to park and shoot as well.*lease clean up after yourself when done so we dont loose this area.

is there any guns not allowed?  like is there a rifle "too big" or is it shotguns only?

Free state wildlife management area. Just clean up your trash when you are done

Sounds cool... I still haven't found a good outdoor range. I keep looking at ENGC and Weeping Water Gunclub. Anyone members of either that can say which is nice club? I think I'm about equidistant from both... I live very close to Oakview mall.

Krylancelo,
ENGC and weeping water are both nice ranges but ENGC has a better facility all together with a variety of ranges.  It would be closer to you as well if you are by Oakview.  If there is a match at WW the range is pretty much shut down for it.  At ENGC they usually have a few other ranges to shoot at if there is a match at another one.
I know it has been beat to death already, but if anybody chooses to shoot at Hamburg Bend or any other outdoor property, PICK UP your TRASH!  This can't be said enough.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem: pick up the trash you find, even if it ain't yours.

Hamberg Bend is free. As far as I know you can shoot anything you want just no tracers. As others have said clean up when finished. My son and I try to leave it better than when we got there. We will be going down on Monday if anybody wants to meet up. Probably gat there around 11am.

Well came out to Hamburg bend earlier this afternoon. Awesome place to shoot, got to let my rifles stretch a bit. The place was very easy to find and not to far from me. Saw a family that was out shooting as well, nice people. Also had an officer stop in on us, he hung out with me and my fam a bit, very nice guy and he even told us he wants to see us out there shooting again!

thanks for the directions guys!

(also came back a bit of trash that other morons seemed to have discarded! >:(

Glad you found it ok. I go to The Bullet Hole quite a bit but when my son and I both can make our schedules work thats where we go.We have even driven further south on those roads just because. That whole area is pretty nice. One of these times might even have to do some hiking in there.

I'm in Omaha as well, I went down to Hamburg Bend though on Labor day in the afternoon. Nice and quiet, took home more brass than I went with.

Thanks for the info guys, I was looking for a nice free outdoor place to shoot.

I never leave trash anywhere (except in my car). :)

Google maps or Mapquest is awesome, it's 6 miles south of Nebraska City, according to an earlier poster, so not a bad drive for me. Apparently this is the spot my neighbor was talking about. :)

For those that like looking at it on a map, this is the route I drove there and the parking lot. Shot about 25 feet from the parking lot on one side of the berm going south.
