Big Oak Tree State Park

 

64

13640 South Hwy. 102 East Prairie, MO 63845
A visit to Big Oak Tree State Park is a visit to Missouri as the first explorers saw it. Towering hickory trees and oaks form a canopy that averages more than 120 feet in height and the soaring trees and marshy terrain translates visitors back to when southeast Missouri was dubbed “Swampeast Missouri.” The trees and wetlands make the park a prime place for wildlife as well as picnic sites and shelters that are shaded by trees that have seen centuries of history. A self-guided boardwalk trail and an interpretive center tell the story of this rich landscape.

Walking - MO

Walking trails let you explore state parks at a more leisurely pace, but the options are still bountiful. Walk through a Civil War battlefield at Battle of Lexington State Historic Site or take the boardwalk through some of Missouri's largest trees at Big Oak Tree State Park.
