Scenery

If unique landscapes are at the top of your wish list when looking for a great trail, boy, do we have a couple you will want to see. Head to Gavins Point Nature Trail and Chalk Bluff Multi-use Trail at Lewis & Clark Recreation Area. These trails follow the chalkstone bluffs along the Missouri River and offer beautiful water views. Pro tip: explore these trails at sunset and experience the breathtaking golden glow of the chalkstone bluffs. Another hot spot for unique scenery is Palisades State Park

History

Spice up your hike with a bit of history when you visit Adams Homestead & Nature Preserve, Big Sioux Recreation Area, and Beaver Creek Nature Area. The historic buildings at these locations are a fun addition to a beautiful hike. Head to Spirit Mound to stand where Lewis and Clark stood 200 years ago.
