Mount Misery's name doesn't quite describe the beautiful area of this Lincoln destination. The countryside recreation trails here lead hikers through lush woodlands, thriving agricultural fields, and sweeping meadows, all the way to the top of the mountain – again, don't let the name fool you; this menacing “mountain” title could be replaced with “hill”. Be prepared for a scenic, mostly flat trek to the top.
