Meramec State Park, State park and cave system in Sullivan, Missouri.
The 6,896-acre park contains limestone formations, dense forests, and the Meramec River flowing through multiple caves and natural rock outcrops.
Missouri established this natural space in 1927, protecting a network of caves that indigenous peoples and early settlers used for shelter.
The name Meramec comes from Native American language, referring to the abundant catfish populations that inhabit the river's waters.
Visitors access five developed caves, including Fisher Cave, through guided tours that showcase geological formations with provided lighting equipment.
The park spans across three Missouri counties - Franklin, Crawford, and Washington - featuring more than 13 miles of hiking trails.
