Park Information
A section of Highway 221 near Doe Run, Missouri, is currently closed and is expected to remain so through the end of October. This will require those heading to the following facilities to take an alternate route: Battle of Pilot Knob State Historic Site, Elephant Rocks State Park, Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park and Taum Sauk Mountain State Park.
Climb to the top of Taum Sauk Mountain State Park and be on top of Missouri – literally. The park’s 7,500 acres include the highest point in the state. Located in the St. Francois Mountains, the park's wooded areas and rocky glades provide a beautiful, solitary experience for hikers. A series of trails, including a portion of the Ozark Trail, wind through the park’s picturesque setting and provide awesome views of the surrounding countryside. The park also has a 12-site basic campground, a special-use area for group camping, and a picnic area.
