A Visit To This Natural Waterpark In Missouri Is A Great Way To Kick Off Summer
Kicking off summer means getting outdoors, soaking up the golden sun, and indulging in some good, old-fashioned fun – like a visit to this natural waterpark in Missouri. While we have plenty of manmade waterparks that promise thrills and chills all summer long, Johnson’s Shut-Ins offer a unique experience that’s sure to keep you coming back for more. You might even want to turn a day at this natural waterpark into a quick getaway by going camping.
Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park in Middle Brook draws visitors all year around - from leaf peepers during the brilliant fall foliage to adventurers who want to cool off in the summer.
Perhaps the most unique swimming hole in Missouri, Johnson's Shut-Ins offers fun for the whole family. However, take care as there are no lifeguards on duty at this popular summertime destination.
Bring all of your beach gear, including a pair of water shoes, which are particuarly helpful if you plan to climb the rocks to explore or to soak up the sun.
The shut-ins offer the perfect prelude to more exploration. Set off on one of the hiking trails - like the Shut-Ins Trail that leads to a tumbling waterfall.
