About Bennett Spring State Park

Bennett Spring State Park sits in a valley around a spring that pours out a very large volume of clear, cool water each day. The official park site describes it as one of Missouri's earliest state parks, drawing anglers who fish a spring branch stocked with rainbow trout. Beyond fishing, visitors can use campgrounds, cabins, a dining lodge, picnic areas, and hiking trails. Wikipedia places the park west of Lebanon on Highway 64 in Dallas and Laclede counties, and notes that the spring feeds the Niangua River and lends the park its name.
