The park features a wheelchair accessible entrance and parking, public restrooms, and is dog-friendly.

Great trails. However it’s naturally home to a host of insects, which is fine. However, spiders will spin webs across the forested trails, so be prepared to walk through them, or find another way to avoid them.
Nice place to walk. Woods and prairie. seldom crowded.
Super naturey! Lots of trails snaking through and there’s even a campsite you can hike into! Natural springs make it pretty muddy! Was only a few others out on the trial during December. Trails are NOT connected to Yhe Trolls that hatched an Egg.
Camped at Prairie View twice on a cross country trip (on the way out and on the way back). It was very secluded in the woods with easy access, a trash can, and an outhouse. Beautiful Osage orange trees all around.
I saw a couple cars in the lot, but had the trail to myself. The trail was relatively clean and taken care of, with the exception of some tire tracks from ATVs or something that caused some minor flooding in low laying areas. It was a pleasant walk (other than the incessant sound of I70 traffic) with clover and wildflowers surrounding the trail. There were several smaller trails in various states of disuse splitting off from the main path. Other than the map at the trailhead, there were no waypoints or signposts at intersections.
