A 2,400-acre state park on a wooded bluff above the Missouri River, four miles north of Ponca. Twenty-two miles of trails wind through oak and hickory forest along the bluff edge, with regular overlooks down onto a stretch of the river that has been left to braid, shift, and form sandbars — the way the Missouri behaved across the whole continent before the dams. The Three State Overlook gives a view across to South Dakota and Iowa simultaneously.
Beyond hiking, the park offers horseback trails (with a livery operation on site), a swimming pool, a campground, cabins, and the Missouri River Resource and Education Center — an exhibit hall on the natural and human history of the river that is worth an hour in itself. Open year-round; a vehicle entry permit is required.
