One of the earliest trails in the Omaha area is around Standing Bear Lake. The 6-foot-wide (1.8 m) trail slopes in places and is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) around but does not completely encircle the lake. The path is narrow and not biker friendly.
A large variety of fish may be found in the lake including walleye, catfish, bass, bluegill, crappie, drum, saugeye, yellow perch, and trout.
The park includes an remote control airplane flying field.
Ice skating is offered in the winter.
One unusual feature at Standing Bear is a wind organ. Created by artist Douglas Hollis, the sculpture is a combination of metal pipes placed vertically in the ground. Each pipe has a hole in its side sound for filtering the wind and making sound.
Standing Bear sits in the middle of various housing developments. This makes it easy to get to, yet it still offers a secluded area to relax and get away from the city.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
