National Trails Day Hike

6/6/2020 | Onondaga Cave State Park | Leasburg, MO

Join us at Onondaga Cave State Park for an invigorating hike on Saturday, June 6 during National Trails Day!

Named after the famed Onondaga Cave, this park offers visitors plenty to see above ground too. Led by a park naturalist, the hike will follow a loop around the park that touches all three trail systems: Blue Heron, Oak Ridge and Deer Run. See captivating views along the Meramec River, with bluffs of over 100 feet high; pass through beautiful glades and shady wooded areas; and step back in time with a stop at the old dam and millrace, constructed in 1886.

The hike will be easy to moderate and will cover approximately 6 miles of trail and include a stop for lunch. It will begin at the Blue Heron Trailhead, located near the visitor center. Please wear appropriate hiking shoes and bring water and a sack lunch. For more information, call the park naturalist at 573-522-3760.

Hike Time: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

This event is being held in conjunction with National Trails Day. For more information about National Trails Day and to see other events being held in Missouri State Parks, click here.
