Park Information
A section of Highway 221 near Doe Run, Missouri, is currently closed and is expected to remain so through mid-November. 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.
