Join the staff at Prairie State Park on June 25 for Hug a Herp Day! Come and see various reptiles and amphibians like snakes, turtles, frogs, toads and salamanders. This event will help to dispel myths and rumors about reptiles and amphibians. It will also give people a chance to see and touch some up close. Make an amphibian or reptile craft to take home with you!
Due to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park, pets are not allowed on park trails, EXCEPT for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People trails. Bison graze freely in the park, and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area, but must follow Missouri State Parks' pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.
