Peaceful, pretty, lots of trails to walk on and explore. There are picnic areas, and a few out of the way spots worth finding. It would be nice to be able to reserve a pavilion here and have an event. Close enough to town for something you need but far enough away to get immersed in nature.

Stone State Park is one of my favorite places to spend a nice day in the Sioux City area. Hiking is very good, with the trails accessible and do-able for the average person. Nature abounds; its hard to believe you are so close to a city. Wooded areas, hills, and breathtaking views make this a nice place year-round. I enjoy... More

Neat little park with some good hiking trails and overlooks to the Missouri river. Lots of "pullouts" with benches so one can sit and enjoy the scenic views!

One of my favorite Siouxland locations to vist. You can relax, hike visit and absorb nature year round. Some of the best views in the tri-state area and it is free.

There are places to picnic, have a huge get-together, spend the night whether camping or renting a cabin. The fall offers beautiful array of... More

Been coming here since I was little. Beautiful views and challenging hills for biking, hiking, or whatever type of fitness your doing. Many different places for picnics or whatever. A Sioux City classic locale!

Great views, great to get out in the "nature" but being close to the city. Not too busy, great for a sunday drive.
