The weather was so nice on Christmas Eve that we decided to take a trip and visit Ha Ha Tonka State Park! Glad we did because it was stunning in December. We arrived a few hours before sunset and explored both the ruins and a few trails. Trails were clean and the ruins were very well maintained! Not to mention parking was a breeze (probably because it was Christmas Eve 🤣). We ended up taking a drive down to a different hiking path to get a better view from the ruins and it was well worth the steps for the views! Definitely looking forward to coming back when the weather is nice!
The views are stunning! The history behind the castle and the water tower are a good read. It's hard to believe they stood only 100 years ago. I do not recommend taking a stroller down any of the walking paths.
Had a wonderful time! This park is definitely worth a visit. Gorgeous views. My husband and I are disabled and appreciated the close handicap parking and the rest areas on the way to the castle ruins. Will definitely return.
