About Bryant Creek State Park

A ribbon-cutting in September 2022 marked the opening of this 2,917-acre tract, one of three new Missouri state parks announced back in 2016. The property runs along roughly two miles of Bryant Creek, taking in dolomite and sandstone bluffs above the water and the oak and pine forest along its banks. Two hiking trails cover 5.1 miles through this terrain in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
