The staff was very knowledgeable. All the wolves were out and active. It was amazing when they howled for us. I felt very safe with their covid precautions. We were told the best time to see them is either early in the day or late around sunset. They are most active in the fall and winter especially during overcast cooler days. We enjoyed both the follow the pack tour and howl night. It was a wonderful experience for out Girl Scout troop.

While driving, we discovered this museum. Parking was marked clearly. Bathrooms were in a building. Main museum/gift shop was very nice. The employees were counting the number of people entering, it was clean, and the passes they give you when you enter were being sanitized. The guy in the front handing out the passes was very nice. The plaques were informational and easy to read. They even had an app to download on your phone that gave you an audio tour if you wanted! The statue was clean and has plaques on the sides describing the war. Graves of the soldiers in the war were located by the statue. Overall experience: Learned about the war and had a great time while meeting friendly people.

We’ve been camping here several times a year since the year (2004?) the park opened. The full hookups and well maintained campground and trails plus the prairie setting make it easy and peaceful to stay. We’ve seen the grounds and increased hiking and biking trails grow in number and length until one could spend hours walking through numerous ecosystems, all the way to the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers. Where they meet, at the far edge of the property, is an historic Native American site. The wildflowers and spacious views are a true pleasure. I’m from the West Coast and miss that type of view. A vista. This campground is outstanding. I’m stunned at the poor reviews. You’d have to enjoy camping, hiking, biking in a prairie setting to appreciate it I guess. And I enjoy the historical background. For a peaceful, beautiful camping experience, this place is perfect.
