BUFFALO JUMP STATE PARK
See one of the largest buffalo jump sites in the country! Just a short drive away from city limits, take a picnic and hike to the top of the buffalo jump for impressive views of the Madison River Valley. Situated on the edge of a broad valley carved by the Madison River, this high limestone cliff was used by Native Americans for 2,000 years – ending as recently as 200 years ago. Native people stampeded vast herds of bison off this massive semicircular cliff, using them for food, clothing, shelter and provisions.
