The small pioneer community of Fraser maintains this lovely park located near the edge of the Weippe Prairie. There is a large picnic shelter, restrooms, and a handful of campsites. Panels show the Nez Perce trail taken by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in September 1805 when they descended from the Weippe villages to the Clearwater River. The old trail passed right through this park!
