This historically interesting park, located 2 miles southeast of Lewellen, has a wide variety of habitats, from exposed rocky bluffs that are used by Great Horned Owls, American Kestrels, and sometimes Prairie Falcons, through grassy wet meadows where Bobolinks and Eastern Meadowlarks are present, to riparian wooded habitats used by Warbling Vireos and other woodland songbirds. There is also upland grassland, with Blue Grosbeaks and Spotted Towhees in shrubby areas, and scattered yuccas where Field and Grasshopper Sparrows sometimes perch. A one-mile trail leads from the parking lot off U.S. 26 to Windlass Hill, where Overland Trail wagon ruts are still easily visible.
