Recurring Special Events Throughout Missouri State Parks
First Day Hikes
Celebrate the beginning of 2026 by taking a guided hike in a Missouri state park or historic site on Jan. 1. Start a new tradition with your friends and family as you get some healthy exercise and enjoy the great outdoors.
Public Meetings
As part of an ongoing effort by Missouri State Parks to allow citizen input regarding the facilities and services offered in state parks and historic sites, public meetings will be held throughout 2026. Park representatives will provide information on future plans for the facility and answer questions. Visitors are invited to share feedback and suggestions about park services and operations.
Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) Meetings
Conceptual development plans, or CDPs, guide the future use and development at each state park and historic site. CDPs support the mission, purpose and direction of each facility. These long-range plans outline area use, site goals, development objectives, research needs and project phasing while taking into consideration the significant natural, cultural and recreational resources of the park or site.
Managed Deer Hunts
To safely and effectively manage the deer population in some state parks, managed hunts are held in a coordinated effort between the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Division of State Parks and the Missouri Department of Conservation.
National Trails Day
