Reviews
"Great waterfall, you can wade with shoes in summer. Great trails. Rocky cliffs. Camping. Picknicking, Mississippi river close by. Beautiful scenery!! A must see!!"
"Great for hiking. The trails are well-marked and there are maps to guide you. Nice combination of easy and rugged trails with nice rock formations. Bathroom at trailhead is also nice."
"There are lots of nice hiking trails. Picnic areas, bathrooms, and camping are also available. The 1850 grist mill is the coolest thing about this park. The mill is still in working order."
"Pretty park, reminded me a lot of the rolling hills and bluffs of the Ozarks which I love. We went during the Buckskin Rendezvous and it was a really fun event that felt like a step back in time."
"Really nice park area with varied terrain. You can make a 4 mile or shorter hike with enough hills to get you breathing heavily. Some of the views on the trail would definitely be better with leaf off seasons"
