Even the most extroverted among us crave some quiet time every now and then. Fortunately, Missouri’s brimming with tranquil destinations – from secluded state parks to remote natural areas – where we can escape whenever we just want some time away from it all. Robertsville State Park is just one example of a quiet gem that’s worthy of a visit. It’s also home to two of the best hiking trails in Missouri.

Just under an hour from downtown St. Louis, Robertsville State Park makes an idyllic daytrip destination or, if you’re up for an overnight adventure, a few nights camping under the stars.

The Lost Hill Trail travels just over 2.5 miles and earns a moderate rating while the Spice Bush Trail is short and sweet at just .08 of a mile. It, too, has a moderate rating.

If you have the time, follow both of the Robertsville State Park trails.
But hiking is just one way to explore this secluded paradise. Slip your boat into the Meramec River for a relaxing float. Or how about going fishing?
