Pershing State Park, State park in Linn County, United States.
The 3,527-acre park features wetlands, forests, and prairies with a 1.5-mile boardwalk and a 6.5-mile Riparian Trail for nature exploration.
The Missouri State government purchased 1,770 acres of land in 1937 for $20,000 to establish this park named after General John J Pershing.
Native American burial mounds within the park boundaries date back between 1,000 and 2,000 years, marking the presence of Sac and Fox tribes.
The park maintains both electric and basic campsites with modern restrooms, hot showers, and laundry facilities for overnight visitors.
Four small lakes and Locust Creek flow through the park, supporting populations of bass, bluegill, and channel catfish for recreational fishing.
