Missouri State Parks invites the public to get outside and explore Missouri’s great natural and cultural resources on a Missouri State Parks trail Saturday, June 6, for “National Trails Day.”
A news release says trail goers can experience more than 1,000 miles of trail at Missouri state parks and historic sites throughout the state.
Whether attending an organized hike or seeking an adventure of their own, trail enthusiasts are encouraged to come prepared with water, wipes and sanitizer as hot temperatures are expected, and in some cases, services may be limited.
During the pandemic of COVID-19, it’s important to understand parks are experiencing high traffic. Visitors should be aware and be prepared to share the outdoors with others. Visitors are encouraged to visit early to avoid crowds. State parks are being monitored closely to prevent overcrowding. If nearing capacity, parking lots or gates may close temporarily.
