Rules and permits
Where can I see dinosaur tracks?
Hike across red rocks or paddle across the reservoir to see 180 million year old dinosaur tracks, including three-toed footprints attributed to theropods!
A three-mile, round-trip trail leads to the dinosaur track site. The hike covers varied terrain and is strenuous with a lot of uphill and downhill segments.
Best viewing of tracks is early morning or late afternoon. Tracks are difficult to see when the sun is directly overhead. Disturbing or removing rock from this area is prohibited. Please leave the dinosaur footprints for other visitors to enjoy. Report any vandalism to a park ranger. To reach the tracks, travel north one mile on Highway 191. Turn right at the sign and drive 2.3 miles to the trailhead. Take drinking water.
See a map and learn more at this website.
Visitors can also access the tracks by paddling across the reservoir.
Remember, these track sites are fragile. Please avoid walking across dinosaur tracks to help preserve this incredible example of jurassic life for another 180 million years.
What is the hammock policy?
Hammocks are not allowed in trees at Red Fleet State Park.
