A fun State Park with lots of trails to hike or bike, plus many other activities including a large splash pad. We could easily spend days here enjoying everything there is too offer. One thing to note is that the trails are not well marked which can make it hard to figure out where you are. Cell phone coverage can also be spotty in some areas. The Alltrails app was a big help in some trickier areas with lots of intersecting paths.

Didn't get to stay for long, but the place was beautiful. The tepee was alright, but you'll have a bit of a ways walk to get to yours, unless you've got the closest one. If you can make it to the river, and the trail was a bit rugged and overgrown until it completely disappeared on me, you get a great view.

We had a family reunion at the Red Barn at Platte River State Park. 45 of us had a great time all weekend. We love the shooting range and horseback riding. Very clean and well kept park. I highly recommend this park to those folks looking to get out and enjoy nature.

Our first trip to Platte River State Park was great! We hiked to the falls and then around the woods for about two hours! The trails were still a bit icy but it was quiet and peaceful and just what I needed! The falls were frozen but still beautiful! Looks like a fun place to be in the summer too.

Yes there is 1 primative campground and 1 electric w pad on the Platte River as well as day use. The river campsites are closed due to flooding but carrying a load from the river to the trout lake parking lot isn't a bad portage. Platte River State Park is way downstream of Two Rivers.
