The nature trail while fully open is 2.8 miles long and is a loop.
Currently, the east side of the trail is closed due to tornado damage from last year of 2025.
The west side is open from the Overlook down to the Tohopeka Village Overlook.
Ask a park ranger at the front desk to see the park map for more information.
Hiking Safety
Visitation to the park should be conducted only during the posted operating hours. This ensures we know you are here and can more readily provide assistance should there be an emergency.
If you walk the Tour Road, share the road with all users. Because the speed limit is only 15 miles per hour, vehicle noise is minimal. Keep an eye out for vehicles at all times –particularly on the two-way traffic section.
Carry water, a snack, and a jacket. Remember to pack out whatever you bring in. Do not litter.
