Mahoney State Park (mentioned)
Platte River State Park
Two Rivers State Park
Any of the dam sites around Omaha/Papillion (already mentioned)
Lake Manowa, Council Bluffs,
Big Lake, Council Bluffs
I didn't see the following two mentioned previously.
Sokol Park: Just north of the Platte River on 75 south of Bellevue;

Sokol Camp: south of Valley on the east side of the Platte. I believe if you get on "old" Maple Rd at Waterloo it will take you west 4 or 5 miles right into the main entrance;

I know what you're talking about, I believe. I went on a "Sunday country drive" with family, and we went down thru Bellevue and we went to Plattsmouth, and we visited some big riverside park with camper hook-ups and stuff (somewhere between Bellevue & Plattsmouth, I think). It was big & expansive, and there were picnic areas, and stuff. (In fact, I thought of that very area when I posted prior, but I didn't know the name of it, and I wasn't super impressed with it, to be honest.) I think that is what park you are referring to. Also, when you drive toward the river directly out of Plattsmouth, you come to some more park-like areas along the river, if I remember right.
