Don't let the name fool you. Pinnacles Youth Park near Columbia welcomes the public to explore its tiny but beautiful 70 acres in Boone County.
However, it earned its moniker because the park is designed for the young people in Boone County. The youth, in fact, were deeded the property back in the 1960s.
Bring along your swimsuit and a towel in the summer for a dip in the creek, which runs along the trail, and drink in gorgeous views of Silver Fork Creek Valley.
The park, which is maintained by the Boone County Pinnacles Youth Foundation, is breathtaking all year around. However, try to time one of your visits during the fall to admire the foliage.
