About Washington State Park

2,157 acres of land on the eastern edge of the Ozarks make up this park, which sits along Highway 21. The area protects Native American rock carvings and preserves stonework built during the 1930s. Its terrain marks a transition zone at the edge of the Ozark region rather than deep within it.

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