Big Lake State ParkBig Lake State Park is one of northwest Missouri’s most popular outdoor vacation spots. Located in Craig, MO, on the state’s largest oxbow lake, the park lends easy access to visitors from Kansas City to Omaha. Its 407 acres of splendor provide picnic areas, a swimming pool, fishing, boating (boat launch included on the lake), bird watching, and exceptional dining at the Big Lake State Park’s restaurant. Camping is available for those who wish to rough it in the wild. For those seeking more modern accommodations, try staying over at the park’s motel or the luxurious lakeshore cabins. A large marsh within the park portrays how the Missouri landscape looked before its development by today’s civilization. With Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge a stone’s throw away, Big State Lake Park is a prime stopover for birds and migratory waterfowl. Whether you want to spend your vacation engaging in exhilarating water sports, or just enjoying the peace of nature- this is a perfect getaway! |
