One of Missouri's most popular trout parks. Catch-and-keep season runs March 1 through October 31, with catch-and-release fly fishing on winter weekends. The Niangua River below the park is a favorite for canoe, kayak, and tube floats. Read our winter trout guide.
About 7,800 acres of water known for muskie, bass, and crappie, with swimming beaches, boat ramps, and campgrounds at Pomme de Terre State Park.
Lead Mine Conservation Area has trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, camping, and a rifle and pistol range. Barclay Conservation Area sits on the Niangua River about 21 miles northeast of town. Both are open to hunting in season. See our Hunting page and Opening Weekend Deer Guide.
After a day outside, grab free breakfast from 7 to 10 am, cool off in our indoor pool in season, and park your truck and trailer right outside.
Springfield is an easy drive south on US-65, with Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium, the Bass Pro Shops flagship store, Dickerson Park Zoo, and the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden.
