- Jessica JazdzewskiSeptember 2, 2010The big playground at the base of the butte by the river is really awesome. Huge jungle gym that looks like the Butte, an old west town, huge sandbox where kids can dig for fossils and water featuresUpvote2Downvote

- Diane ShafferJuly 4, 2012The butte is part of a bald eagle's fishing and cruising territory. Watch for it when you're up there. You can usually get a fairly close look of it flying around.UpvoteDownvote
