Crowder State Park

Just a short drive from Mercer County, Crowder State Park is 1,912 acres of pure outdoor adventure near Trenton, MO. Cast a line on the 18-acre Crowder Lake — stocked with bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill — or rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard and explore the water at your own pace.

With over 17 miles of hiking, biking, backpacking, and equestrian trails winding through dense forests of sugar maple and oak, there's no shortage of ways to explore. Keep an eye out for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, foxes, and more along the way.

Stay the night at the full-service campground, complete with modern restrooms, showers, and a laundromat. Whether you're planning a day trip or a weekend escape, Crowder State Park delivers.
