If you're in the area, make a stop at Trammel Park. My two daughters (8 & 12) had a blast hunting for fossils. This was a great hidden gem!

Fascinating place. In a light industrial park area at the back end. Has a nice parking lot and a couple of picnic tables. Lots of signs with good information about the fossils you can find. The hill is a little steep, but not too bad even for an older person like me. But, you need to be careful. Wear shoes with good traction and old clothes.
Was able to find a few small partial fossils quickly. I hadn't planned to go, so didn't have any tools with me, so had to dig with my hands. They discourage too much digging because you don't want to leave holes that people may trip over. I would like to go back again and spend more time hunting.

Must hit destination while in town! This was great for kids who are interested in dinosaurs! With a half day trip!

There are a tone of small fossils. They are mostly of the types pictured in the images from other reviews. Don't expect beautiful surroundings or large fossils. check out a maps program to see the area.
We couldn't find any trilobite fossils... and we looked for a fair amount of time.
My son's are 15 and 16 and they both had a pretty good time, but I think younger kids and kid's that are really into paleontology would love it.
Bring eye protection, chisels and hammers if you want (some will probably break). However many fossils have already been freed from the rocks and can be found simply by looking.
There are some decent restaurants and parks close by too. Families can easily make a day trip to this location for fun.

Educational spot to take kids but the amount of trash around detracted from the experience. Several of the informational signs were in rough shape but the ones you could read were insightful.

This place was really cool. Found several fossils for being there just a short time! Had fun with family hunting fossils.

My husband and I enjoy looking for fossils. The park is well laid out and explains the rock layers that are exposed. Wish I had kids to bring here.

Stopped by this little park while in town visiting. So glad we did. Its a wonderful little treasure. Very well kept, CLEAN porta potty with hand washing station was a plus. Only there a few minutes with little effort and found several fossils, I'm sure we could have found lots more if we had stayed longer and looked harder. Some really large ones too. We opted to leave them for the next set of visitors. Really great spot. Next time we will pack a picnic lunch.

Interesting trip to Trammel Fossil Park. Small but quite interesting. Free admission and good information before going to the area where you can see small fossils embedded in the rocks. We spent 30 mins, saw interesting things and find small fossils to take home. Recommended if you are traveling around have young kids to show the fossils.

Trammel Fossil Park is a little out of the way, but worth a visit for fossil buffs. There are excellent signs explaining the rock strata and the types of fossils that can be found in each layer. I would highly recommend wearing boots with a hard sole.

Are dogs allowed in the park?

I saw some dogs but keep them on a leash, it’s only 10 acres and it’s all sloped not flat. Meaning it can get congested the warmer it gets.

Is this a seasonal place? Wondering if it will be open march 23

I'm believe the park is open year-round. It's an open park without a gate or anything so I don't think it really ever closes.
