We are from this area but had never been out to the state park as a family. With the lovely fall weather we decided to go out and have a picnic as a family. The picnic area was spacious, clean and well kempt. There was a dry creek bed that the kids played in and the restroom was concrete building, but no running water. Again it was clean and well kempt. After our picnic we went to the visitors center which was full of information about the prairie and the Flora and fauna that can be found there, as well as the history of the prairie. The gentleman that was there was very kind and helpful. He informed us of events they do periodically and offered to show us around. There are two trails that lead out from the visitors center, a long one and a short one. We had a two year old with us and didn't bring a stroller so we opted for the shorter, approximately 10 minutes, hike. We didn't get far enough into the prairie to see the bison, so we will definitely be going back. Even though we ended with disappointment it was still a wonderful day trip and the kids loved it.
