Water Festival

6/24/2023 | Rock Bridge Memorial State Park | Columbia, MO

Have fun with water and learn about streams and animals that live in streams through activities designed for children ages 4 and up. Take a guided tour of Connor's Cave; meet a turtle; catch aquatic animals in the stream; play with a model of a stream; learn about fish, birds and bugs in the area; discover nature stories; and find out how to keep our streams healthy. Ask questions of those representing several local organizations.

Most activities will take place near the start of Devil's Icebox Trail. Some parking will be available in the Devil's Icebox parking lot; additional parking will be available at the log cabin, just east of the Gilbert Picnic Shelter. A shuttle will run between the two locations every 15 minutes. (Click here for a map.)

This event is co-sponsored by Boone County Stormwater, Missouri Stream Teams, Missouri Master Naturalists and the park. The event is free and open to the public, and registration is not required. Participants should bring water to drink and shoes they don't mind getting wet.
