History:
South Dutch Charley offers a variety of landscapes within 24 acres - the entrance leads to flat grounds that turn into slight slopes at three percent to intense slopes at fifty-three percent. The creek enters the park area from the west and meanders almost three thousand feet through the southwestern and northern portions of the park. This aesthetically pleasing park hosts an important historical presence because it was the home of Charley Zierke, also known as Dutch Charley. Zierke was the first settler of Cottonwood County.
The park was purchased in 1968 and 1972 with the assistance of a LAWCON grant. Just over $26,000.00 was used to develop a primitive camping area with a picnic shelter, tables, a roadway, parking, underground electric, pit toilets, playground equipment, & signage.
