Granted, visiting during the Quarantine meant The Farm, campgrounds, nature center, etc... were closed. And it was too early for the Aquatic Park. Lots of plains with paved bike trails, which would be good for a bike ride, but we came to hike, and that was just ok, at best. Unfortunately, we didn't start with the wooded part of trail 3... we should have, as it was too late by the time we got around the rest of 3. Mostly not so great views of the rivers. The prairies and wetlands are neat, to a point. Glad it wasn't hotter as the bugs would have been out of this world.
Pretty, but, not quite our cup of tea.

If you enjoy scenic views of the prairie and visiting a real life working farm that is a living history of the 1920's, this is a great place to visit. The Native American grounds are wonderful to visit and everyone should read the history of this area and the many tribes that lived on this land. This is a great biking trail that expands over several acres. During the month of October they have the "Trail of Scarecrows" that stretches along a mile of the trail where you can enjoy a variety of scarecrows created by local agencies. You can vote for the scarecrows for a penny for each vote. All proceeds go back to the state park.

This is a nice State park to visit in spring & fall because there is a lot of sunny areas with no trees. There is a little forest. and they do have a small water park for an extra fee. there is a fee to get into the park unless you have a State park pass.
They have many bike trails and hiking trail. most of the bike trails are in the sun. there is a small lake and creek in the Park. They have camping and there is a really neat working farm in the state park. it has lots of animals and the geese and duck and chickens run all over the farm. they have an old farm house that they decorated with things from years ago. Looks so nice inside and a big big barn with cows and horses and a cat. They have a nature center. Basket ball hoops. They have a look out area were you can see a big meadow of wild flowers. people bring there dogs to walk the trail and take a dip in the creeks.

If you aren't doing the water park or camping, then this is a couple of hour visit. The Indian village is really only a place for ranger programs on student field trips. And yes, there are other "living history" museums.
But this is a fully working farm with a fully restored farm house. My kids got to operate a player piano. We talked with staff about the steps they take in handling animals and in processing the meat. Yes, they process the animals here, and the meat is for sale. And once a month, they host rather elaborate (and pricey) dinners here.

Great example of blue stem prairie grass. Enjoyable end of day or early morning walk. Our dogs loved it! Please keep all dogs on leash!
