Park Information
Mark Twain State Park and Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site will be completely closed to the public Nov. 4-7 and Dec. 9-12, 2022, due to managed deer hunts on the property.
Nestled in the Salt River Hills of north-central Missouri, Mark Twain State Park gives visitors access to sprawling Mark Twain Lake, as well as unparalleled outdoors activities. The terrain is covered by bluffs overlooking the lake and stands of oak, hickory and maple that are filled with white-tailed deer, turkey and other wildlife. Numerous picnic areas, two four-lane boat ramps and more than 6 miles of hiking trails with lake views offer something for everyone.
