The Steele home has been preserved much as it was over a hundred years ago and serves as a museum displaying the furnishings and tools used by the early settlers. The Steele's farm was the setting for many outings due to the unique canyons and the superb fishing and hunting. The Steele's wanted their homestead to become a public park and recreation area. This dream became reality in 1928 when the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission acquired the 1,280-acres, which is now the park, including the 640 acres of the Steele homestead. The park has 60 campsites with utility hookups.
Water is available to some of the sites, and a modern shower and toilet building is located nearby.
