About this park
Chief Plenty Coups State Park honors the Crow leader whose bravery, leadership, and vision helped bridge the gap between two cultures. He moved from a nomadic life to farming in 1884 and died in 1932 at age 84. The 195-acre park, a National Historic Landmark, preserves part of his original 320-acre allotment. The grounds include his log home, a sacred spring, the farmstead, and a visitor center with cultural exhibits and a gift shop. A three-quarter-mile trail follows Pryor Creek, and visitors can fish, hike, bird watch, picnic, and take heritage tours. The park is ADA accessible and has a playground and picnic shelter. This is a day-use park with no camping. Summer hours (mid-May to mid-September) are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and winter hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
