Trails on the west side of the park are fairly well marked, don't miss the scenic overlook on the yellow trail -- it's a great view, plus a family of deer pranced by me! The dinosaur tracks are an absolute thrill for natural history buffs (like me!), and there's a great little exhibition near the main office that explains what... More

First, everything I read said to call to ask about river conditions before going. I tried for three days, never got a live person, and no one returned my call when I left a message. We don't live that far away, so I had a good idea of the conditions, but someone coming from a distance would be at a... More

Staying at the Tres Rios Campground, we ventured out to the dinosaur state park. what a wonderful experience for all. they have meticulously laid out the proper chronology with supportive visuals and text material that makes the re-discovery of the past interesting and rewarding.

First off 2 of the 4 areas we could't even find, they were not marked well once in the park. site 1 & 2 had limited accessibility,... More

Seeing the dinosaur footprints in the river is good. They are a little more faded than when I was a kid. Best thing about the whole park is hiking up to the top of the lookout hill. priceless view.
