Rockwoods Reservation, Conservation area in St. Louis County, Missouri, US
Rockwoods Reservation spans 1,843 acres of forest land featuring limestone formations, springs, caves, and numerous hiking trails through hardwood forests and natural habitats.
The Missouri Department of Conservation established this protected space in 1938, following decades of intensive limestone quarrying and clay extraction operations in the region.
The network of six marked trails, including the Rock Quarry Trail and Lime Kiln Trail, presents the natural and industrial heritage of Missouri through interpretive stations.
Visitors can access the reservation daily from sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset through Woods Avenue and Glencoe Road, except on Christmas and Independence Day.
The area connects to Greensfelder County Park and Rockwoods Range Conservation Area, forming a 5,000-acre green belt with the 14.5-mile Greenrock Trail.
