Dinosaur Footprints Reservation, Nature reserve in Holyoke, United States.
The Dinosaur Footprints Reservation contains hundreds of tracks made by four types of two-legged dinosaurs preserved in sandstone outcrops along the Connecticut River.
Edward Hitchcock first studied these footprints in 1836, establishing this location as one of the earliest documented dinosaur track sites in North America.
Scientists and researchers from multiple institutions continue analyzing these tracks to understand dinosaur behavior patterns and prehistoric life in Massachusetts.
The reservation spans 8 acres of wilderness and remains open year-round, managed by The Trustees of Reservations with support from Massachusetts Conservation Department.
The parallel orientation of multiple dinosaur trackways at this site provided early evidence suggesting that these prehistoric creatures moved in groups.
