Permitted activities may vary within a park. Please confirm details with park staff.
This day use area is open daily from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. during the operating season.
The buffalo jump is not protected by any physical means. Due to concerns about site disturbance and removal of materials, there isn't a designated trail to the jump. Interpretive signs at the park viewpoint provide information about the jump but do not point out the actual site.
Water is not available, day users are encouraged to bring your own water.
Roads and trails in this area can become very slippery when wet making them unsafe and impassible for both vehicle and foot traffic. (This is due to the high content of bentonite, a clay-like material.) Motor vehicle travelers are especially cautioned not to descend the hill after the slightest amount of rain and to leave the valley when there is a chance of rain.
In mid-October, the park access road gate is closed for the season making the day use area inaccessible. Vehicles can still access the viewpoint, which is located inside the park boundary along the park entrance road.
