Map or Directions
Rolling grasslands, volcanic rocks, and sandstone bluffs all characterize this 471 acre park with a 170 surface acre lake, but the real pull here is the internationally significant dinosaur trackway that contains more than 500 footprints dating back more than 100 million years. Many have been preserved and identified, and a boardwalk trail with extensive signage tells of the ancient visitors here. The park is also home to a variety of plant/bird/animal life, and land and water recreation. The camp area offers 33 sites, a playground area, restrooms, showers, water, and picnic tables.
