About Roaring River State Park

Set in the southwest Ozark hills of Barry County, this Missouri state park sits in a deep, narrow valley framed by rugged scenery. Anglers come year-round to fish for rainbow trout, as the park is one of three Missouri state parks stocked with them. Visitors can hike one of seven trails, eat at picnic tables, or visit the nature center to learn about the area. Overnight guests can choose from campsites, rustic cabins, or rooms at the CCC Lodge or the Emory Melton Inn and Conference Center, which also has a full-service restaurant.
