I've been here dozens of times since I grew up close to here. And if you like history, and scenic views, this is for you too. All outdoors (no restrooms) and only a little history talked about on the plaques, but you will enjoy the stop. You can see three states and the Missouri river from up on the hill.

Was well worth the walk! So much history and great photos. You get a feel of our past history when you are there. Wonderful views from the top! Terrific photo scenes.

Usually quiet and calm, overlooks the Missouri River, Sioux City and parts of South Sioux. Little trails to walk on and you can walk up to Chief War Eagle's monument for a bit of history as well.

This is a nice tribute to the area's history. The view from the monument is beautiful, overlooking the tristate area and rivers. It's a short drive from West 4th St.

My trip happened in 1932 when our family drove from California to visit War Eagle's grave. He was my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather. The site on the bluff was open and covered with grass. There was a simple white grave stone with a rendition of the Peace and Freedom Medal given to him by President Van Buren when he was invited to Washington D.C. The medal is a treasured possession in my family today, and we proudly recognize our Sioux heritage. Knowing that people are still visiting the park named after him is an honor. I thought that visitors might like to know that following my sister and me there are two more generations living out west who proudly claim their relationship to War Eagle..............................................................................................................................................................................................................My visit to War Eagle Park took place in1932 when I was three years old.

This is a monument to a Yankton Chief. The Yanktons were of the Sioux nation but were not warlike. War Eagle, even tough his name indicates otherwise, was a peace maker and a big help to the white man. If you are a history buff, don't pass this one up.Geographically, it is very interesting to see The Big Sioux and the Missouri Rivers join. Notice the flat land to the North and West which now is South Dakota. That was flattened by a glacier many many years ago. This point is where the glacier stopped.

What a view! Was on top when a storm rolled in from the distance in Nebraska and it was pretty cool to see it develop. You can see Nebraska, South Dakota and of course Iowa from the point. The statue is a nice monument to a Chief. Nice attraction.

This is a good stop high above the bluffs for a good view of the Tri-state region and the river. There is not much to see other than the large statue commemorating the chief.

The monument itself is nice, but there could be more history given on Chief War Eagle himself. The view of the Missouri river would be gorgeous except for the high black metal fence that you have to look through to see the river. It also could be set up better for people to actually sit and stay a few minutes.

You are going to spend 10 minutes there. But it is a good view, nice to think about the history and all that. Go see it.
