Spanning over a thousand acres, Stone State Park was established in 1935 and can be found amidst the ravines and bluffs of Big Sioux River. One of its most unique aspects is the variety of prairie plants which can be found there such as pasque flower and yucca. The park contains many miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, and is a popular destination for picnickers, mountain biking enthusiasts, and overnight campers. You’re bound to come across several species of flora and fauna while exploring the park such as white-tailed deer, wild turkey, barred owls, and coyotes. The Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center can be found within the boundaries of the park and has a unique butterfly garden which is fun for visitors of all ages.
