Activities and amenities
Missouri trout park season is Mar 1 to Oct 31. The park's fishing area is divided into three zones, each with its own set of regulations.[4] The park has its own hatchery as well as a store, cabins, motel rooms, and camping area. In addition there are three trails for hikers and bicyclists.[3]
The Montauk mill is available for tour. The original mill was built in 1870, and the current standing mill was built in 1893. The mill ceased operations in 1927.[5]
