Big Lake State Park

Big Lake State Park encompasses 407 acres of natural space with various recreational facilities along Missouri's largest oxbow lake in the northwest region.

The establishment of this state park in 1932 marked the beginning of public recreation development in northwest Missouri near the Missouri River.

The park functions as a central gathering point for regional family events and community celebrations, offering meeting spaces that accommodate up to 100 guests.

Visitors can access camping areas with electrical hookups, motel rooms with modern amenities, and wheeled rental cabins that adapt to flooding conditions.

The shallow waters of the oxbow lake create wetland environments that support numerous species of waterfowl during their seasonal migrations.
