Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Big Bone Lick State Park was named for the enormous bones that have been found scattered throughout the area, and it's widely recognized as an important key to understanding what life looked like during the Ice Age. A boardwalk leads visitors around a diorama dotted with recreations of mammoths, mastodons, and other Ice Age animals, and the Visitor's Center features a number of informative displays about Native American history, the research being performed in the park, and the area's fossilized plants and animals. The park is also home to a small herd of live bison, which can be seen all throughout the year.
