Pikes Peak State Park, State park in Clayton County, US
The 960-acre park contains a 500-foot bluff providing views of the Upper Mississippi River and the Wisconsin River confluence point.
Zebulon Pike explored this location in 1805 during his expedition, identifying the bluff as a potential fort site overlooking the Mississippi River.
The park connects to multiple conservation areas, including Effigy Mounds National Monument and the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.
The park maintains multiple hiking trails, campgrounds with RV facilities, and designated areas for mountain biking through the natural landscapes.
The land within the park boundaries remains unchanged since pre-settlement times, preserving the original forest and geological formations.
