Elephant Rocks State Park

Beautiful park with amazing trails. Easy parking complete with restrooms. They even have a trail for blind people called the Braille trail. I thought that was pretty amazing. If you enjoy being immersed in nature... This is your spot. They do Jane some vending machines and the water drinking fountain I came across was not working. Always a good idea to take some water with you if you can.

I love Elephant rocks State Park. It's a beautiful piece of Missouri where your invited to climb and experience. The quarry history is really cool, especially all the names and dates carved on the rocks by the people in the 1800's that worked there. Plenty of bathrooms, and soda vending machines. Picnic spots and grills. My kids loved it there. Bring a first aid kids in case of scrapes. The main path is wonderfully asphalted and it's wheel chair accessible. There are a lot of little trails leading if in all directions for exploring and having adventures. A++

There is a paved path that goes all around it, or you can walk pretty much anywhere you want on numerous other unpaved trails. I think its a good place for all ages! Normally a food truck there and restrooms. Highly recommend. Took about an hour and half to go all the way around including exploring other trails.

Loved exploring the Elephant Rocks. Very easy walking. Nothing strenuous but you get to see so much. Lots of great photos ops. Be careful of ticks, my husband found one on him during the walk. We went on a Monday evening and hour and a half before closing and only a handful of others there. It was really peaceful 😊

The trails are paved and so nice! You could push a stroller if need be and we did see a person enjoying the trails on his motorized scooter it's great to see its accessibility! The kids loved climbing all over the large rocks and exploring all of the awesome sites!

This is obviously a well-loved Missouri State Park - which means there are a LOT of people there on nice days/ weekends. The rocks are very impressive, especially on top of the plateau!! Much of the trails are handicap accessible (paved main trail) and apparently the park has motorized scooters you can borrow if needed? I've never heard of this before, and it's an AMAZING idea! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 For reasonably athletic people, there are lots of spots where you can climb on the rocks too - however, there were plenty of trails and areas that were clearly not on the map but created due to overuse, so be courteous and don't damage the landscape. The plateau has many, many names carved into the rocks... some of them from the 1800s(!!!) and those were really cool to look at too. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife too, we saw a Speckled Kingsnake and a tiny lizard, among other things. 😁

We loved our visit to Elephant Rocks State Park. Nice trail, beautiful views at the top (not a strenuous walk to the top), and the rocks...wow, very impressive!! We could easily tell how the park got it's name! We are from out of state, stopped while driving through and were glad we did. It was not busy on our visit during the week. Plenty of areas for a picnic. Nice place for a couple hour stop, or could stay longer and enjoy the beauty. Overall it's a great park!!

Beautiful space with incredible rocks for walking and bouldering. Paved path that’s about a mile loop with several off shoots to lookouts and points of interest. Restrooms and vending machines on site. When we were there on a Saturday they had food trucks, but not during the week. Several picnic tables and a small playground.
