Description
Toadstool Geologic Park is the extreme northwest corner of Nebraska - actually about 50 miles northwest of the western edge of the Nebraska Sandhills Region which is near Hay Springs, NE.
Toadstool Park, is in a remote area known as Nebraska's Badlands which is located in the Western Nebraska Oglala National Grasslands area. (-- not near Ogallala, NE) It is about 18 miles northwest of Crawford, Nebraska -- which is 18 miles west of Chadron, NE. You go almost 5 miles north of Crawford on Hwy 71, and then about 13 miles west and northwest on a very scenic and well marked, but bumpy, gravel "Toadstool Road" to the Toadstool Geologic Park entrance.
There is a small day use and a overnight camping fee. Some of the publications we read said the park is open year-round, 24 hours a day -- but recommended against traveling on the gravel road to the park during or after a rain.
We would second the not driving on the gravel road when wet advice since some of the very rocky areas could be slick and there might possibly be a few muddy areas.
Tip Tips More important - hiking on the trail and over the rocks could be difficult and possibly dangerous if the rocks were wet and slippery.
