MISSOURI GOAL!


 

One of my goals is to visit every state park and historic site in Missouri. Now, I know I am from Illinois…but Missouri has some of the most beautiful and well maintained state parks. So I added this page as a way to track which state parks I have visited and which parks are still on the “To Be Visited List”. Slowly, I am crossing them off, one by one. Someone asked me what my favorite Missouri State Park is and after much deliberation, I have to say it is Ha Ha Tonka State Park near the Lake of the Ozarks. The trails are challenging and diverse and there is just so many things to see.

If you want more information on any of the parks listed, just click on the name of the park and it will take you to the Missouri State Parks website. If you have any questions about the parks I have visited, please leave a comment below!

    • Hi! Great question. So you have to go to the Missouri State Parks website http://www.mostateparks.com from a computer. I couldn’t get the image to pull up on my phone. At the top right of the page it says “find your park” hover over that and underneath the little Missouri state it says “view full state map” the image comes up and then I just took a screen shot of it. Hope this helps!!

I belong to some local hiking groups as well as the Piasa Palisades Chapter of the Illinois Sierra Club. We are hiking McCully Heritage Project in a couple of weeks.
