Massacre Rocks State Park was known as the Gate of Death and Devil's Gate during the Oregon Trail period. The names refer to a narrow break in the rocks through which the trail passed. Oregon Trail remnants are most easily seen from highway rest areas in either end of the park. Massacre Rocks State Park is also a favorite for birdwatchers. Over 200 species of birds have been sighted in the park. Canada geese, grebes, bald eagles, pelicans and blue herons are often seen. Mammals include the cottontail, jack rabbit, coyote, muskrat and beaver. The desert environment produces about 300 species of plants in the park. The most common are sagebrush, Utah juniper and rabbit brush.
