The Boardwalk Hike In Missouri That Leads To Incredibly Scenic Views
Missouri’s pure natural beauty sometimes just leaves us breathless, doesn’t it? Fortunately, we have plenty of ways we can appreciate that beauty – from leisurely strolls in our own neighborhoods to lazy Sunday drives down scenic highways. If you enjoy hiking, however, you just might want to set off on this boardwalk trail in Missouri that promises an abundance of scenic views along the way.

The trail also features a waterfall. If you're hiking after a rainfall, you'll be lucky enough to see the waterfall at its strongest and most beautiful, as the water gushes down.
The highlight of the trail just might be the shut-ins themselves. If you're hiking during the summer, you'll see plenty of people swimming and enjoying the water. (You might want to join them, too.)
However, if you're hiking during the off-season when it's much less-crowded, you can stand back and really drink in the sheer beauty of the water and the shut-ins.
