Welcome to Stone State Park, located in the scenic Loess Hills of western Iowa. Although the park is located close to the creature comforts of Sioux City, you might be surprised at the extraordinary scenic beauty and abundant wildlife you can find in this rugged park. Stone State Park is on the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway. The byway passes through this unique land formation that's about 200 miles long.
Recreation: Trails You can explore the park on more than 15 miles of trails. Visitors can start with the self-guided Carolyn Benne Nature Trail. Several interpretive signs explain the natural history of the park. Bicyclists can explore a network of trails in the area. Road bicyclists can do a 17-mile loop with a combination of highways, city streets and paved city bike trails. Mountain bikers can enjoy the challenging 6 miles of dirt trails in the park. Hikers will enjoy exploring the park's 1,595 backcountry acres. Equestrians are welcome to bring their horses for a day of riding the park's 6 miles of multi-use trails. There are no overnight accommodations for equestrian riders. Water Activities Anglers will find excellent catfishing in the Big Sioux River flowing along the western border of the park. Kids might enjoy panfishing or learning about aquatic life from the shores of the two-acre Turtle Lake.
Nearby: The park is located in the northwest corner of Sioux City.
There are no overnight accommodations for equestrian riders. State regulations require horses, mules and donkeys being transported interstate (from one state to another) must have a current Certification of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate) and a negative Coggin's test (EIA). This paperwork must accompany the animal into the State of Iowa. Please refer to www.iowaagriculture.gov/animalindustry/horseadmissionregs.asp for more information. This law applies to equestrian camping, day-use and trail riding in any State owned Park or Forest.
