For travelers assembling an itinerary, Fanning Reservoir may work best as a point of interest to consider alongside the wider route through Scotts Bluff County. Let the visit be guided by what you enjoy about waterside places: the changing view across water, the open line where water meets sky, and the way light can give the same scene a different mood.
