Ice Age Fossils State Park protects and celebrates the lives of the megafauna and the discovery and recovery of their bones. As such, there are very strict rules prohibiting digging or collecting fossils, including walking off-trail because the ground surface still holds tiny fragments of fossilized bones. As a ranger mentioned to me: just leave your shovels and pith helmets at home.

Services inside the State Park include restrooms, water, sheltered picnic tables, and sheltered places along the trail. This is pretty tame country, so just bring what you need of the 10 Essentials and beware of high temperatures with little shade.
