Lone Elk County Park, County park in St. Louis County, Missouri.
Lone Elk County Park covers 546 acres of natural habitat in St. Louis County. The land includes open meadows and wooded sections where elk, bison, deer, and waterfowl roam freely.
The land started as part of a gunpowder plant during World War II. It became a wildlife sanctuary in 1948 when animal herds were established there.
The park shows how native wildlife shares the land in Missouri's natural landscape. You can watch different animal species moving through open meadows and wooded areas throughout the day.
You can drive a 3-mile loop road through the park or hike on designated trails. The park is open from 8:00 AM each day until thirty minutes after sunset.
A single bull elk survived a herd removal in the 1950s and inspired the park's name. This survivor led to the restoration of animal populations that visitors see today.
