Black Jack Park

Nice place along the trail. Log cabin has a number of neat artifacts.

I've been to places along the Oregon Trail from end to end claiming to have ruts and few places have them as noticeable as here. (This site was on the Santa Fe Trail but same wagons and ruts.) Don't look for wheel ruts like you would see from a pickup on a modern ranch, look for a path worn down lower than the surrounding land. Unfortunately, pictures don't seem to capture ruts well but you can see them plainly at this location in person. Hike south from the parking area about 100 yards to the sign. Ruts pass on both sides of the sign.

Nice place to step back in time. There is a walking trail there also.

Nice little place. I love history.

You can a self guided tour of the battlefield. There are also hiking trails that you can take through the woods and fields. They have marked several different species of trees.
