About Platte River State Park
Steep, rolling bluffs rise above the south side of the Platte River, covering 453 acres of mostly forested terrain. This hillier topography stands out against the flatter land typical of the surrounding area. The park protects this stretch of wooded bluff country and has been managed as a state park since 1982.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
