About Waubonsie State Park
Waubonsie State Park is a state park in Fremont County, Iowa, United States, located in the Loess Hills region. It is named for Chief Wabaunsee of the Potawatomi people. Waubonsie State Park is located in the unique Loess Hills, a landform found only along the Missouri River in Iowa and Missouri. As glaciers melted 14,000 to 28,000 years ago, the Missouri River became a major channel for huge volumes of water and sediment during the summer. In winter, the volume of the meltwater was reduced, leaving the deposited sediments exposed to the wind.
