Effective today, Missouri state parks will remain open to the public, including all day-us areas, lodging, campground, boat ramps and trails.
However, the parks will temporarily close visitor centers, park offices, and site offices to walk-in foot traffic through April 30.
The parks are also recommending visitors take the necessary precautions
- According to CDC and state recommendations, limit your group to a maximum of 10 people with at least a six feet distance between you and others.
- If you have been sick in the last two weeks, please stay at home for your health and the safety of others.
- Avoid popular areas where people may congregate, and also avoid larger groups in general. Areas to avoid may include scenic overlooks, buildings, playgrounds, etc.
- Please maintain distance between you and other park visitors according to guidelines and recommendations by health officials.
- Pack extra soap or hand sanitizer. Due to increased use or remote locations, soap or sanitizer may not be available.
