About 110 million years ago, dinosaurs left their footprints in the limestone along the Paluxy River. Of course, back then, the river didn't exist, and most of Texas was ocean floor. There are two ways to find these ancient imprints today. You can stop at the park's well-marked viewing sites or hunt for them. We recommend both. After you check out the easy ones, climb down to the river and hike along the edge. Watch carefully; some tracks may be half-covered with silt. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots that can get wet. The easiest tracks to recognize belong to the meat-eating, three-toed acrocanthosaurus, a cousin to Tyrannosaurus rex. You may also discover large round tracks of the pleurocoelus, a plant-eating creature resembling the brontosaurus with its long neck and pillarlike legs. Aside from tracks, the 1,525-acre park has much to offer. There are hiking, biking and equestrian trails, picnic benches, campsites, a playground and a swimming hole. The last is a good spot to see more tracks, look along the rocky edges. Dinosaur tracks are best viewed when the water level is low. Call 254-897-4588 (then press zero) for conditions.
