Park Information
Thousand Hills State Park will be closed on Dec. 7 and 8, 2024, due to a managed deer hunt at the park. Only registered hunters and staff or volunteers working the event will be allowed in the park. Camping will be unavailable Dec. 6-8.
The cool waters of Forest Lake provide the centerpiece for Thousand Hills State Park, whose woody shores and broad savannas recall a time when northern Missouri was far less developed. The lake offers fishing, swimming and boating. The park offers hiking, mountain biking and abundant opportunities to see wildlife. An interpretive shelter helps visitors understand the petroglyphs left behind by the area’s inhabitants more than 1,500 years ago. The park also offers campsites and cabins for overnight stays.
NEW IN 2024: The park now offers a beach wheelchair that visitors with mobility issues can use during normal beach hours. Click here for more information.
