Pershing State Park features some pre-settlement landscape for its visitors to appreciate. Enjoy strolling the boardwalk and taking a hike along a beautiful trail that goes by a wet prairie. Anglers will enjoy trying their luck at Locust Creek.
You can spend some quality time following a meandering stream at Pershing State Park, which features oxbow sloughs and cutoffs and eventually leads into a forested area. Enjoy seeing birds and other wildlife in the wetlands, and go fishing in the creek. It’s also fun to sit and take in some peace and quiet at the campsites here.
“This is a wonderful place to see nature. It is off the beaten path and each time I have visited I see the wonderful wildlife of Missouri. The walk to the bridge is very pleasant. The picnic tables make it a fabulous spot for eating alfresco.” – Elicia, Google Review
