Dogwood Canyon Nature Park

2038 W State Hwy 86 · Lampe, MO

Why you should go…

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is a 10,000-acre nonprofit wildlife preserve in the Missouri Ozarks. You can follow six and a half miles of paved paths and two miles of off-road trails past towering bluffs, waterfalls, creek beds and handcrafted bridges. The streams are stocked with rainbow trout for fishing, and tram and jeep tours head out to pastures where bison and elk graze, with horseback rides also on offer.

Good to know

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
