So great our family and friends go every year ....great hiking trails nice views from the top once you make it. So much to do that it never gets old.

Very nice campgrounds with a lot of trails throughout the area where the giants once lived. A large group of energetic hikers were able to locate numerous caches in the park. River was extremely low but allowed easy access to see the footprints left by creatures that roamed this area.

My wife and I went there a couple of days ago. There were only 3 cars in the whole park, so that was nice.The sign said the most of the tracks weren't visible due to recent rain. We powered on, stopping at every pullout and walking a lot of the trails. We actually saw quite a few of the tracks. Off season was a big plus for us. We went across the river and up to the overlook as well, nice view from up there. $7 each adult or $14 for a carload, take a few friends and make a day of it. I did not stop at the private place with the animatronic display just outside the park. I wish the app would let us post photos.

Loved hiking to the overlook and what a view! The kids of course enjoyed playing in the river. Not many tracks to look at because the water level was too high but still enjoyed the ones that were visible. Worth a trip and the fee!!

The dinosaur footprints are a bonus. The main area of footprints is heavily visited. When we were there, two children, about 4 and 5 years old, were running through the main pool where the tracks were. The children disturbed so much silt, no one else could see the tracks. Of course, the parents did absolutely nothing except ask their children to please not splash so much. We really did enjoy the park until that point. The weather was perfect, in the 60's. The hiking trails were all well marked, the park facilities were very clean. There is a nice gift shop and proceeds benefit the park. Admission is $7 for adults.

This is one of my favorite parks. If you are a runner or a biker you will enjoy getting lost in the woods and crossing the river back and forth as you explore the trails.

Got to see real dinosaur tracks. A great place to hike. Has a small gift store to purchase drinks, snacks, momentos.

Went during Spring Break Some areas were closed due the days of rain. There were still plenty places to hike/walk around. The trails are well marked. Loads of trails for hiking and biking. Bike trails were closed (due to rain). Family friendly and helpful staff.

This park has great trails that are well groomed and are easy for families and for people who want a nice walk in the woods for a couple of hours. I went there to see the dinosaur tracks which was very cool. My husband and I hiked for 2 hours as the paths are easy, well groomed, and pretty level without many hills.There are a lot of campgrounds, families, and seems like a great place to bring a dog if you have one. Definitely worth the stop if you are in the area.

The Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose was a great way to spend the morning. $14 for two adults, kids under 12 free. We did two well marked trails that covered 3 miles and a very well designed, new and well planned trivia trail with questions about local wildlife. The kids had access to clean restrooms and we only found one piece of litter the whole trip, I would of picked it up, but it was shards of bottle-glass. The river was clean, shallow, easily crossed thanks to the fossilized mudflats that contain the many dinosaur tracks, and typically crystalline like all of the Paluxy river. Every part of the trails we used were passable by any small, but tough, child or small pets. The one exception was fenced off and well marked and had been caused by unavoidable storm damage. The exhibit inside was better than many museums, and I especially enjoyed the geological and geographical panels that provided the best explanations I have ever seen as to prehistoric geography/geology of Texas. I was also happy to see several large and active groups of Scouts, families, parties, couples, equestrians and cyclists. Go check it out, you will not be disappointed.
