3. If you're looking to forge your own path, pick up a county map at the Logan County Visitor Center and set out on any of our rural roads. Some are paved, some are gravel, and some are shared with farm equipment. You can find great trails to ride at North Sterling State Park, too.
4. Sterling is known for its many beautiful and immaculate parks as the ideal spots for an impromptu picnic. Grab lunch from a local eatery or pack your own basket and stake a bit of green space to soak in the sunshine or play a game of disc golf.

Listen to the songbirds. Watch for Canada geese, deer, beavers, turtles, or an occasional eagle soaring overhead.
