Established in 1984, Mukdahan National Park is well known for its bizarre shaped rocks, not unlike what you would see in a 'Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner' cartoon.
Five hundred metres beyond the large rock plateau (a five minute walk from the park office) is a small shrine and after walking for another 500m you'll reach a very pleasant lookout from where you can see the Mekong River and most likely a nice little pocket of illegal rice cultivation.
Besides the bizarre rock formations, Mukdahan National Park also plays host to caves, prehistoric rock art (as in Pha Taem National Park in Ubon Ratchathani Province) and supposedly some wildlife, though all we saw of that were lizards and birds.
At the height of the wet season there is apparently an impressive waterfall a three hour walk from the park headquarters but in the dry season (when we visited) the waterfall dries out.
Aside from the waterfall there are a couple of other minor trails for hiking and according to the park officers, if they have the time, they'll be happy to show you around.
