Grand Gulf State Park, Natural canyon formation in Oregon County, Missouri, US
The Grand Gulf extends for three-quarters of a mile with walls reaching 130 feet in height and includes a natural bridge spanning 250 feet.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources began managing this geological site in 1984 through a lease agreement with the L-A-D Foundation.
The park stands as a research location for understanding karst topography and the natural processes that shaped the Ozark region throughout geological periods.
Two designated trails allow visitors to observe the canyon from different perspectives, with interpretive signs explaining the geological formations along the paths.
Water entering the cave system at Grand Gulf travels underground for nine miles before emerging at Mammoth Spring in Arkansas within four days.
