About Mark Twain State Park

This park sits in the Salt River Hills of north-central Missouri and gives access to Mark Twain Lake. Its bluffs overlook the water, and oak, hickory, and maple woods shelter deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Visitors can use several picnic areas, two boat ramps, and more than six miles of trails with lake views. Fishing, swimming, boating, and camping are also offered. It lies next to the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site.
