This was a beautiful walk through nature, and a wonderful history lesson. As kids we saw several mounds across the midwest. These were great examples of ancient Native American culture! Thank you for preserving this so well!

It was ok. Definitely not worth the long drive. Parking lot is small. Very peaceful area to be in. Don't plan your whole day here. I was only here for 30 minutes max. There's picnic tables, short trails. Plan on visiting other parks on your route.

Nice park for a slow and easy walk. We enjoyed the butterflies, wildflowers, and looking at the milkweed. There were some hornet's at the interpretive center in some of the educational signs.
