Echo Bluff State Park

Echo Bluff State Park is a state park in the Missouri Ozarks with limestone cliffs that rise above a creek flowing through the landscape. The grounds include forest and open areas with trails and several lodging options for overnight stays.

The land was originally a summer camp founded in 1929 before being purchased and reopened as a state park in 2013. This transformation preserved existing structures while adding new amenities for public use.

The amphitheater hosts regular programs about local wildlife and geology that help visitors understand the natural world around them. These gatherings create opportunities for people to connect with the landscape and learn from knowledgeable guides.

The park offers overnight stays in a lodge, cabins, or campground, with a restaurant available for meals. Visitors should bring comfortable hiking shoes and be prepared for changing weather conditions.

The park was developed with substantial investment to balance modern comfort with preservation of the natural landscape. This careful planning allows visitors to enjoy the area while protecting the environment.
