Stateline Island is a unit of the North Platte National Wildlife Refuge and is the only one that is open year around. It is located south of Henry Nebraska on the Nebraska Wyoming border. The refuge parking lot is just south of the North Platte River bridge on the east side of Holloway Road.
This refuge has access to the North Platte River to the north and Centennial Creek to the south. There are hiking trails on both sides of the road.  On the west you can hike to the Wyoming Line.
