Little Moreau State Recreation Area

Little Moreau State Recreation Area encompasses a diverse landscape with tall grasses, flowering meadows, and forested sections along Little Moreau Creek.

During the late 1800s, European settlers established cattle operations in the Moreau Valley, utilizing the fertile grasslands for grazing thousands of cattle.

The area served as winter shelter grounds for multiple Indigenous groups, including the Cheyenne and Teton Sioux tribes before European settlement.

The recreation area offers five camping sites allocated on a first-come basis, with facilities such as showers and restrooms operating from May through September.

Red foxes, bobcats, coyotes, and multiple bird species, including snowy owls and golden eagles, inhabit the protected natural environment.
