An Oregon Trail throwback without the dysentary? Blue Mound State Park will make your childhood dreams come true. At Blue Mound, Bison herds graze the prairie, a Sioux quartzite cliff rises 100 feet from the plains and prickly pear cactus bloom in the summer. Birdwatchers can catch nesting blue grosbeaks, and adventurers can explore 13 miles of trails and great rock climbing. The campground includes drive-in, walk-in and RV sites.
