The mission of the Niobrara Council is to assist in all aspects of the management of the Niobrara National Scenic River Corridor since portions of the Niobrara River have been designated as a national scenic river under 16 U.S.C. 1274(a)(117), as such section existed on May 24, 1991, giving consideration and respect to local and governmental input and private landowner rights, and to maintain and protect the integrity of the resources associated with the Niobrara National Scenic River.
