Reviews
"This place has so many different trails, from easy to really long! You can spend all day there, and learn things as well!! It's a great way to spend a day."
"Nice place with a lot of options for hiking. We went to see dinosaur tracks. The hike is about 2.5 miles one way, 5 miles all together, it's not difficult at all the only thing is that there are a lot of rocks on the trail, u need to pay attention to your steps and sturdy shoes are a must. There are benches along the way, and once you arrive at the destination. We spent a good amount of time looking at the dinosaur tracks... It is so cool to see it, and the more you look at it the more details you see ."
"Good family hike for family with kids from 7 year old to 13 years old. Did Dino tracks and the overlook. Total miles were 6.7 and walking time was 3 hours. Stopped at tracks and had picnic. Beautiful hike. Overlook has no rail, so definitely cautious with kids."
"Great place to hike with friends and family. There is an entrance fee to this beautiful park. Make sure you go the restroom and take some snacks and drinks. The trails are different from one another. Make sure you wear proper shoes and clothing depending on weather."
"I had an incredible experience at this state natural area! The highlight for me was the fascinating dinosaur tracks, which were a major draw for crowds, and they did not disappoint. The hiking trails were not only beautiful but also quite manageable, making it a perfect outing for a Saturday. What truly impressed me was the low crowd level, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the natural beauty and history of this place. I kind of figured there would be an elevated level of crowd because of the nice weather, but I was thankfully wrong. Five stars all the way."
