Permian-Age Fossil Trackways Are Preserved at San Angelo State Park
San Angelo State Park's Dinosaur Trail features fossilized trackways from the Permian period, preserved in rock along the trail.
The Dinosaur Trail at San Angelo State Park is a two-mile path that passes fossilized animal trackways from the Permian Age — the geologic period that preceded the age of dinosaurs. The prints were made by ancient reptiles hundreds of millions of years ago and are now preserved in the park's rock formations.
The trail is part of the park's North Unit. Standard state park entry fees apply ($4 per adult). It is a good low-key option for families with kids who want to see something unusual on a hike.
