Review:
Dinosaur State Park & Arboretum is an 80-acre U.S. National Natural Landmark which was established in 1968. The natural history preserve protects one of the largest dinosaur track sites in the United States. You’ll be able to see Jurassic-era fossil tracks embedded in sandstone; these date back to over 200 million years.
The dinosaur tracks were discovered in 1966 and is one of the largest fossil discoveries made in the state. The site opened as a state park two years later at the same time the dinosaur trackway was honored as a Registered National Landmark. Other aspects you’ll see are a geodesic dome which encloses and preserves other dinosaur tracks, an arboretum with over 250 species of plants, and over 60 miles of hiking trails located within the park.
