It has long been recognized as one of state's natural treasures, having been set aside as a national park by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, and continuing in that capacity until 1931 when it was transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Features include a 4.5 mile auto tour through a big game enclosure and a 1.5 mile self-guided nature trail running through wooded terrain.
