| Millstream Gardens Conservation Area, featuring the Tiemann Shut-Ins |
The St. Francois River flows through shut-ins to create the only whitewater in Missouri. It's used by kayakers in spring. The one-mile hiking trail along river provides views of rocky landscape and woodland life.
This is a predominantly forest area that includes 20 acres of shut-ins on the St. Francis River.
Facilities/features: boat ramp, picnic area and pavilion, archery range, St. Francis River Natural Area.
Free. Open year-round. This is the site of the Missouri Whitewater races each March. Igneous rock formations create a series of rapids when the water level is high.
Located 8 mi. west of Fredericktown, MO on Hwy 72.
