"This site was a nice little walk in the country. Google maps tried to take us straight to the creek and have us walk in through a field. The farmer who owns the property has made a path. Look for the Ingalls sign by the road and drive in. Pay for your parking and you can walk the site and be immersed in the descriptions from the books."
"Simple, but well maintained and informational. Worth $7. It's also a very beautiful, naturally-rough spot, unlike all the flat farmland around. I'm glad that the creek is still very much as it was."
"Pretty cool place to visit, with the history of the land you can use your imagination and relive the old days of Laura Ingalls Wilder. We even seen people wading in the creek to take on the full experience."
"Beautiful, scenic, great experience for Laura Ingalls Wilder fans. It's neat to see everything she mentions in the book "On the Banks of Plum Creek". If you stand on the bridge and listen in silence, you can hear what Laura heard over 150 years ago. If you want the full Walnut Grove experience, check out the LIW Museum too!"
"Always love visiting here! Peaceful spot, walking trails, picnic tables in a shady area. My last visit had been in 2018 after the flooding, and they have worked so hard to undo the effects of the flood waters.Thank you for making this area available for visitors!"
