"Norfolk, NE
Heeeeeeeeere’s Norfolk! Did you know The Tonight Show host Johnny Carson grew up and got his start in show business here by performing his magic act in and around town? In addition to Carson-philes, Norfolk is also where cowboys (and girls) come to play. As a trailhead for the 195-mile Cowboy Trail, you can hike, bike, or walk your way around these parts by starting at the trailhead in Ta-Ha-Zouka Park, where you can camp beside the Elkhorn River. If you and your BFFs enjoy water sports, fish or connect with NorthFork Outfitting for kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or pedal boat rentals. Hit the Great Plains hay not with the cattle, but at the decidedly more chic RiverPoint Inn, an eight-room boutique hotel that’s a stone’s throw away from downtown bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Next door you'll find Divots Downtown Tap and Dine, where the wood-fired pizza or pasta bakes are sublime. While in Norfolk, patrons have the chance to support a range of woman-owned businesses like Magnolias for home decor, Love & Threads for fashion-forward frocks, and I Bee Quiltin for incredible fabric finds."
