Who’s ready for a summer of exploring Missouri? Exploring’s pretty easy, no matter where we live in the state. We have thousands of caves to discover; bike trails to follow, and beaches to visit. If you’re a fan of hiking or even if you’re just interested in starting it as a new hobby, plan a visit to Crowder State Park in Missouri, which will host short but fun Explorer Hikes through early September.

Lace up your hiking boots for a leisurely hike, led by park staff at Crowder State Park in Missouri, for one or all of its scheduled Explorer Hikes.

Good news, too, especially if you prefer short trails or are new to hiking. Each week, you’ll hike just a portion of the trail, during which time you will get the opportunity to learn more about the wildlife and the vegetation in the area.

If that trail portion has you hooked, you can go back and finish the trail once the Explorer Hike has finished.
