Notes
- Pets are allowed, but must be on a leash at all times.
- Due to heavy rains, snakes are very active and numerous in several parts of the park. The amphitheater area stays mowed and is relatively snake-free.
- Bring chairs for hanging out. There is seating at the amphitheater; however, it is not shaded.
- At times the dinosaur tracks are not visible due to rain.
- Friday night, there will be an informal meet and greet. Preorders will be available to pick up, and it is rumored that there will be karaoke! (Preorders can be picked up Saturday during the event also.)
- This page will be edited to include any new developments!
- The park store is well stocked with souvenirs! They have a state park pathtag!
