The monument itself is interesting but just average. It's the view from this area that makes the deal. From here you can see parts of the SIoux City and the forks bends of the river. You can see where Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska meet.
This is a nice tribute to the area's history. The view from the monument is beautiful, overlooking the tristate area and rivers. It's a short drive from West 4th St.
Usually quiet and calm, overlooks the Missouri River, Sioux City and parts of South Sioux. Little trails to walk on and you can walk up to Chief War Eagle's monument for a bit of history as well.
Nice view of tri state area and rivers, interesting history of Chief War EAgle
Was well worth the walk! So much history and great photos. You get a feel of our past history when you are there. Wonderful views from the top! Terrific photo scenes.
You are going to spend 10 minutes there. But it is a good view, nice to think about the history and all that. Go see it.
My trip happened in 1932 when our family drove from California to visit War Eagle's grave. He was my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather. The site on the bluff was open and covered with grass. There was a simple white grave stone with a rendition of the Peace and Freedom Medal given to him by President Van Buren when he was invited to Washington D.C. The medal is a treasured possession in my family today, and we proudly recognize our Sioux heritage. Knowing that people are still visiting the park named after him is an honor. I thought that visitors might like to know that following my sister and me there are two more generations living out west who proudly claim their relationship to War Eagle..............................................................................................................................................................................................................My visit to War Eagle Park took place in1932 when I was three years old.

The monument is on a gravel road, and not well marked, but when you find it, there is a short steep walk to the monument. It was well worth the effort. The monument is lovely, but when you turn around, the valley view is spectacular. There is a second monument to view on the way to War Eagle.
Great history with a view. This site commemorates War Eagle who was an early settler in the Siouxland area. The sculpture is interesting and the area is very peaceful. Worth the effort to find once you get off the interstate.
The monument itself is nice, but there could be more history given on Chief War Eagle himself. The view of the Missouri river would be gorgeous except for the high black metal fence that you have to look through to see the river. It also could be set up better for people to actually sit and stay a few minutes.
