About

Gain a better understanding of one of the saddest chapters in American history at Trail of Tears State Park. Nine of the 13 Cherokee detachments being forcibly relocated to Oklahoma crossed the Mississippi River at the location of the park during harsh winter conditions in 1838 and 1839. Exhibits at the park’s visitor center tell the tale of the thousands who perished on the forced march. In addition to interpreting the area’s cultural history, the park also offers opportunities to engage and recreate in its natural beauty. There are shaded picnic sites , hiking and horse trails , fishing in both the Mississippi River and Lake Boutin, and majestic views of the Mississippi River and beyond. Its location right on the river also makes the park one of the best places in Missouri for viewing migratory waterfowl.
