Missouri is “the place” for outdoor enthusiasts. Missouri contains hundreds of conservation and natural areas; 50 state parks; the vast Mark Twain National Forest; the Ozark National Scenic Riverways; the Katy Trail, America’s longest rail-to-trail walking/biking trail at more than 225 miles; major sections of the Ozark Trail for those who enjoy hiking and backpacking; fishing from rainbow trout to bass, huge paddlefish to tiny sunfish; hunting from turkey to pheasant, deer to elk; vast wilderness areas to ancient swamp lands. If you can do it outdoors, you can do it in Missouri.
