Harry S Truman State Park, State park near Warsaw, Missouri, United States
Harry S Truman State Park is a recreational area on a peninsula of Truman Lake, featuring oak woodlands and limestone cliffs along the shoreline. The grounds extend across about 1,440 acres (583 hectares) with access to different sections of the water and natural habitats.
The area was established as a recreational facility in 1976 by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and named after the 33rd President of the United States. The park's creation followed the completion of Truman Lake as a reservoir project.
The park takes its name from Harry S. Truman, the 33rd U.S. president from Missouri, and its peninsula setting on Truman Lake draws boaters, anglers and campers from the Warsaw area. Visitors can watch the reservoir's open water and wooded shoreline from the park's trails and campgrounds.
Visitors can reserve campsites across six campgrounds up to a year in advance and access a marina for supplies during their stay. Navigation is straightforward since areas are well-marked and facilities are distributed throughout the grounds year-round.
The park occupies a peninsula on Truman Lake, a 55,600-acre impoundment of the Osage River, and sits about 6 km from Warsaw, Missouri. The land lies roughly 237 metres above sea level, and the surrounding terrain is rolling prairie and farmland cut by wooded valleys.
