There are two major highlights in this park IMO, the highest point of Missouri and Mina Sauk Falls. At only 1772 feet above sea-level and within a few hundred yards from the car park, the so-called highest point is somewhat disappointing, but still worth in a Missourian’s «be-there-done-that» list. The Mina Sauk Falls can be reached via a 3-mile loop hike, combining the Mina Sauk Falls trail and a short segment of Ozark Trail. The falls are spetacular after a good rain, but shrink to little trickle of water in dry days. However, keep in mind that after a heavy rain or frequent rains, the trail condition can be nasty. Part of the trail essentially turned to creek bed in my last visit a couple of days ago, after a series of rainstorms in the area. Mud and wet rocks can be very slippery so look at your steps carefully.
