Dolliver Memorial State Park in northwest Iowa is unique for its natural bluffs and geological formations. Dolliver overlooks the Des Moines River Valley and spreads across 594 acres of flatlands and rugged trails. Highlights of the park include Boneyard Hollow, the Copperas Beds and historic Native American mounds. Take your time while venturing in this surprising park and try spotting some of the hidden surprises Dolliver has to offer.
Boneyard Hollow, a box canyon featuring rocky streams and beautiful cliff formations. Legend says the canyon is believed to be the spot where Native Americans from the Woodland Culture drove bison and deer off the cliff. Near the southeast end of the park, Native American mounds from the Woodland Culture were once used for ceremonial and burial purposes. Out of respect, please do not disturb or tread across the mounds.
