Review:
Located near the west end of Lake McConaughy five miles south of Lewellen in Garden County, Ash Hollow State Historical Park is a family-friendly park with a variety of attractions and points of interest, including Ash Hollow Cave and Windlass Hill. Once a stop-off point where pioneers could get fresh water, wood, and grazing, Ash Hollow features the remains of scraped wagon ruts in the hillside of Windlass Hill. Ash Hollow Cave is another point of interest that the park features and shows evidence of the use of the area by a prehistoric man dating back 6,000 years. A modern interpretive visitor’s center exhibits the area’s ancient history, geology, and paleontology of the area. The center showcases over 30 million years of geologic history and features fossils of prehistoric mammals, including rhinoceros and mastodons.
