We decided to stop at Myre-Big Island to break up a long drive, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The park is quite extensive and has well-marked and well-maintained trails through all sorts of terrain - prairie, oak groves, lowlands. Incredible fields of flowers too. We saw deer, pelicans, wild turkeys, and more snakes than we would have liked, but all non-poisonous! The trails appeared to be lightly traveled and it was a great place to stretch our legs and enjoy the beauty of nature. The park ranger who checked us in was courteous and very helpful.

We walked in and nearly got blown out the door by the strong stench of cigarette smoke. The sign said no smoking but lots a smokers puffing away in the casino. First impression: This place stinks! Lots of slots and gaming tables here. We signed...MorechristopherM8134MB, Thanks for taking the time to submit a review and hope you have safe travels on your journey. Thanks, Scott Smith AGM

This is a great place to see an old fort with an old water well hand pump. The fort even asks you to close the door when you are done. This is located on private property and the family allows visitors. Please be mindful of future visitors, it's a great place to visit and think about the days of settlers.
4. Plane Crash Site of Buddy Holly

If you went to the Surf Ballroom, this tops off the tour. Very well kept! Although people apparently disregarded the request not to leave things the day we were there, which led up to a bunch of clutter.
Please be considerate, the property the crash site memorial is located on is PRIVATE PROPERTY. The land owner is very considerate to let people trudge through his field and occasionally mows it down to make it easier. So hats off to the landowner providing people the opportunity to gain access.
