Mastodon State Historic Site

Fun for the whole family. Located off of outer road, the museum has a nice display, frequent events, and a movie with some good educational value. A short walk from here takes you to the bone bed where you can learn even more about the park and Mastodon history.

Visitors can use a newly constructed trail to walk to the lower park area, or drive around to the Seckman road entrance to visit the lower park. At the lower park you'll find a large cut field to play in as well as water fountains, a play ground, benches, grills, restrooms, and a pavilion to cool off under. You'll also have easy access to both trails from here. Spring Branch trail is under half a mile and circles the lower area where there is an opportunity to play in and around the creek. Limestone Hill trail is a more challenging 2.5 mile trail and includes narrow paths, some difficult terrain, and steep hills.

A couple of geocaches are hidden throughout the area. There are several Pokestops and two gyms for those interested in this now infamous game.

Another area of the park is open for reservations for groups such as scouts for campouts.

4/5 because the trails are well worn and usually in need of maintenance.
