“Recreational activities are available from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.”
The large pink-hued rocks are the perfect playground for climbers, with cliffs and cracks creating various routes for any climbing level. “We also offer a guide that provides training and equipment for those inexperienced climbers, too,” shared Dreckman. The state park also offers scenic hiking trails that weave through the park and showcase glimpses of the cliffs and Split Rock Creek below them. “ King and Queen Trail or Balancing Rock Trail is a must-do,” said Dreckman. There are many breathtaking views to be found in this park, and hikers can reach the top of the cliffs to see all of them. Over the years, camping has been on the rise for visitors catering to different interests with tent and cabin lodging. In 2024, Palisades State Park recently underwent a large land expansion to accommodate more guests. “The expansion has been amazing for the park, and allowed us to triple most of our amenities,” stated Dreckman.
