Harry S Truman State Park

Park Information

Harry S Truman 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.

Clear waters, dramatic bluffs and vibrant summer and fall colors make Harry S Truman State Park an ideal place to vacation. Located on a peninsula, the park offers a marina, ample fishing and boating opportunities, and water that’s perfect for every kind of swimmer. Hiking trails, picnic areas and campsites dot the park’s open oak woodlands and provide a home for abundant wildlife.

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.
